Africa’s rise must be owned by Africans, Sammy Gyamfi tells diaspora

Mr Gyamfi described the African diaspora as one of the continent’s greatest strategic assets, saying it possesses the expertise, technology, networks and capital needed to help transform Africa’s economies.

If we build it together, continent and diaspora, youth and elders, public sector and private enterprise, capital and conscience, then Africa’s rise will not be a performance staged for others.“My brothers and sisters, Africa’s rise must not mean African resources rising into foreign balance sheets while the African youth remain unemployed.
