Why the Nigeria–Côte d'Ivoire route matters
Nigeria–Côte d'Ivoire is a major ECOWAS trade axis — Nigerian manufactured goods, fuel and electronics flow west while Ivorian cocoa, cashew and agricultural produce flow east, with cross-border traders pricing in naira and CFA franc along the coastal route.
