Africa's foolproof wealth retention strategy: act now and no time to waste : building capable, accountable and responsive states across West Africa

Abstract

Africa is well placed to play a major role in the process as the world needs its natural resources that are essential for producing industrial and consumer goods. The world needs the wealth creation capacities of Africa in the form of exploiting regional markets, investment opportunities and human and natural resources. The West Africa Business Forum will provide a sustainable platform and the "right place" with the "slight push" to change attitudes towards generating a new generation of African groups of entrepreneurs and investors, and harness collective will and determination to move ahead boldly on the road mapped to stated goals.
