Acting President Yemi Osinbajo who left Nigeria on saturday, met US President Donald Trump and the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, in Taormina, Italy, where he went for G7 meeting.


The G7 is composed of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the U.S.



Other African leaders that joined the G7 meeting are Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Beji Essebsi of Tunisia, Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger and Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn of Ethiopia.



UN Secretary-General António Guterres, made it known in an address at the Summit that world leaders had a role to play in helping Africa to adapt as it heads to a new wave of industrialization, by investing in education, technology etc.



“Failing to do so might have dramatic consequences on the well-being of the people of Africa; increase fragility, causing massive displacement and risking to boost unemployment, especially for young people,” Guterres said.


He noted that majority of African countries have improved their competitiveness and business environments.


“Our shared challenge is to build on these gains and to change the narrative about Africa – from crisis-based narrative to an opportunities-based narrative.



“We know that the full and true story of Africa is that of a continent with enormous potential for success.



“Africa has the fastest growing youth population in the world, which must be supported with education and training in tomorrow’s jobs,’’ he said.



He said high rate of youth unemployment is not just a tragedy for youths but can also frustrate development.



“That, in turn, can become a threat to global peace and security,” Guterres cautioned in his statements.



“Gender inequality is costing sub-Saharan Africa 95 billion dollars a year, which is at six per cent of the region’s gross domestic product – a needless loss of inclusive human development and economic growth,” the UN chief said.



The secretary said more than just the transfer of technology is what the continent needs to maximize the power of innovation for the people of Africa.
