Imagine going to a five star
hotel for lunch with no idea about how to use the fork, what spoon to use when…leaving
you all confused. If you had gone for a business meeting, then it all goes
wrong. If on a date then you are lucky if you get another one with the same
party. What is my point here?
Today I had lunch with a
friend and we partly discussed how important it is for Africa to develop local
expertise to manage and govern the exploitation of its resources. African
experts understand their people, the environment, Africa’s history and have a
vision for its future. They are therefore best placed to guide the continent in
developing just, sustainable, objective and innovative solutions to help us
manage our vast resources.
Africa is on the verge of
economic regeneration and developing local talent, across all industries and
sectors, will help us more than ever before balance between corporate rights,
public policy and the collective welfare of our people.
Therefore when we go for lunch
as a continent we shall know how to use the fork, what spoon to use when and so
on, as we dine on our natural resources.
