"I would like to remind my fellow Africans, especially policy makers in IACO member countries, that the world is moving on and we need to move along with it. Africa has been devastated by both external and internal harsh natural/economic conditions but it is for us to see opportunities in these challenges and seize them for the benefit of our peoples. From these opportunities, we should strive to create wealth for our people and not just worry about poverty alleviation. There is goodness in riches and we should continuously remind our people to aim high and to work hard and get rich. Instead of working to breakeven, we should rather endeavor to generate more profits and re-invest in our economies."
