Use our abundant resources to develop Africa

The former Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Dr Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini-Zuma, has urged African leaders to utilise the abundant resources the continent is endowed with to the benefit of their people.

“In Europe, I don’t know how many days of sunshine they have, but here we have at least over 300 days of sunshine. We must take advantage of that. We have our rivers, we must use them. And we are blessed with the diversity of water and oil, which we must benefit from,” she noted

Dlamini-Zuma was speaking on the topic “Why the world needs a Dynamic Africa and what role must each African Play to achieve this goal” at the BOMA of Africa event.

The event was organised by AUDA-NEPAD and AfroChampions on the sidelines of the Africa Union’s Mid-Year Coordinating Meeting held in Accra last Saturday.

Under the theme "From the Africa We Want to the Africa We Build," the 2024 edition of BOMA of Africa aimed at celebrating the radical ideas and actions driving Africa forward.
