1. DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT

Impact investing is the allocation of assets (in the form of investments) into companies or organizations with the aim of bringing about positive social or environmental impact while also anticipating profit from such investments.

The strategy actively seeks to make a positive impact by investing, for example, in nonprofits that benefit the community or in clean-technology enterprises that benefit the environment.

THE OXYMORON OF NIGERIA’S FAILURE TO SIGN THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA TREATY. By GANI, Hossana Esq.

The motivation of a single, tariff free continent has featured on the minds of African leaders for a long time given the commonality of trade both historically and contemporaneously.  This idea has its roots in the Pan African ideals of the founding fathers of several African Nations who established the founding principles of a single African Continent of political and economic integration. This led to the Organisation of African Unity in 1963 up until the formation of Regional Economic Communities from the 1970s; the desire for closer integrated trade has dominated proceedings at several intergovernmental dialogues.
