OBASANJO, SOLUDO SPEAK ON UNLOCKING CAPITAL FOR AFRICA'S DEVELOPMENT

Former Nigeria President, Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo today Thursday, May 12, 2022 spoke about keys to unlocking capital for Africa's development.

They spoke as panelists at the 15 years anniversary celebration of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC).

Also on the panel were Mr. Andrew Alli, CEO South Bridge and Mr. Solomon Asamaoh CEO Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund.

All the panelists share at least one commonality as contributors to the AFC and, in one way or another played a key role in unlocking the AFC's journey to where it is now, having invested $10 billion dollars in Infrastructure projects in 35 Countries.

President Olusegun Obasanjo recounted how Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo mooted the idea as Central Bank Governor and how he supported the idea which eventually paved way for Nigeria to lead the creation of Pan African Financial institution, having Prof Soludo as the key driver.

President Obasanjo also said most projects usually fail in Africa because of lack of continuity and leadership support.

President Obasanjo continued that Prof Soludo's doggedness and hardwork contributed immensely to the birth of the Africa Finance Corporation.


Governor Soludo asserted that it was President Obasanjo's leadership disposition that made it possible for the idea to have yielded fruits.

The Governor recalled how he communicated the idea of setting up the financial corperation to President Obasanjo. And within 15 months, it became a reality after travelling to about 22 countries to raise funds for its establishment.

Governor Soludo said AFC is what Africa needs to move forward. He added that the continent needs visionary leaders who can provide the leadership to execute policies and ideas like President Obasanjo.

He stated that no matter how fantastic an idea is, without execution, it becomes a mere hallucination.

According to Governor Soludo, to stop projects' failure, it must be public-driven and fully supported with a selfless determination on the part of the leader

Commendable smiley smiley
What Africa needs now is not just perennial solutions but rather a permanent and lasting solution to these ongoing socio-economical crises in the continent. Nigeria as the principal of the discussion needs not just a charismatic President but also one with innovation, practical ideologies, and management control to keep the country going. Many Other African governments are already taking over due to the lapses we have created, and we need to take back that pride of being the giant of Africa.

We do have a long way to go.

GOD bless the federal republic of Nigeria.

Only Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo the Solution can save Nigeria from the pit that the breathing mannequin hiding inside the Rock has dragged us.

Tinubu can also try a little considering what he did and is still doing in Lagos.

But, Soludo is the Solution


Others pretending presidential clowns are nothing but idiots and nincompoops.

Nonsense people. Always talking. Let them take a clue from nations where things are working.

You fail to deliver, government bring your company down, you refund the money or go to jail.
