About this listen
In this compelling episode recorded in 2021, we recap our conversation with Professor Paul Nugent—renowned historian and African borders expert—about the political, social, and economic complexities of borders, infrastructure, and regional integration across West Africa. From the rapid urban growth of border towns like Aflao to the stalled progress of the Abidjan-Lagos corridor, we unpack why infrastructure projects often fail to deliver their promise. We also discuss border urbanism, informal trade, port monopolies, and the human and political factors hindering the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). This episode sheds light on why efficient movement of goods and people remains elusive—and what must change.
