Some of Africa’s innovators, researchers, economists, thinkers and technology experts, on Saturday, held conversations on the collective future of Africa and the roles of individuals, groups, governments and corporations in birthing the desired future.
Highlighting the major challenges hindering the convergence of African countries to harness the development of the continent, Mr Bakare said existential gaps, lack of trust, perception gaps, poor self-efficacy and cultural incompetence are the challenges. As part of the measures to solve the problems Africa is faced with, the speaker said there is a need for culture fixes because certain cultures are progressing, while some are not.
“Organisations and cities allow the convergence of individuals with innovations and skills to develop a country.” Another speaker at the conference, Charles Omole, a security expert, said Africa needs a new reality that will promote security convergence and Pan-African responses to security challenges in Africa.
Also at the conference was Andrew Nevin, a PwC global thinker, who urged Africa to shift from a Gross Domestic Product lens to Sustainable Development and Growth lens.
