The Africa Federation of Teaching Regulatory Authorities is a continental body comprising all teaching regulatory authorities in all the 54 African countries.

Ajiboye in his acceptance speech promised not to let the Federation down and to expand AFTRA activities to more French and Arabic speaking countries.
