He tasked foreign countries on abiding by the Summit’s theme of “Rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 agenda and its sustainable development goals towards peace, prosperity, progress and the sustainability for all,” for a mutually beneficial relationship with Africa.
“We realise that underlying conditions and causes of the economic challenges facing today’s Africa are significantly different from those of post war Europe. Secondly, Tinubu said the world must affirm democratic governance as the best guarantor of the sovereign will and well-being of the people and noted that: “Military coups are wrong, as is any tilted civilian political arrangement that perpetuates injustice. The wave crossing parts of Africa does not demonstrate favour towards coups. It is a demand for solutions to perennial problems.
“This harmful traffic undermines the peace and stability of an entire region. African nations will improve our economies so that our people do not risk their lives to sweep the floors and streets of other nations.” “Given the extent of this injustice and the high stakes involved, many Africans are asking whether this phenomenon is by accident or by design. Member nations must reply by working with us to deter their firms and nationals from this 21st century pillage of the continent’s riches,” he noted.
