Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) Director, Said Adejumobi said that development was a product of concerted efforts and ingenuity by society. "Africa will have to think differently not only to develop, but also in running to catch up with the rest of the world, the efficient exploitation and efficient management of natural resources will be key to Africa's development and the realization of vision 2063. The experts are expected to make recommendations to the ICE on how the region can make the most of its natural resources through sound policies and programs in order to facilitate growth that is inclusive, reduce poverty and increasing the participation of all citizens.
