Africa: Saraki Calls for African Renaissance
Former Senate President of Nigeria, Bukola Saraki, has urged African leaders to dismantle economic and institutional dependency and chart a new course of self-reliance, innovation, and prosperity.
Mr Saraki observed that more than six decades after independence, Africa's project of full sovereignty--economic, political, and intellectual--remains incomplete.
Africa must "end the mindset that progress must come from elsewhere" and "build institutions that outlive individuals."
Delivering a keynote address at the Democracy Union for Africa Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, themed "Navigating Africa's Strategic Position in a Multipolar World: Towards Equitable and Mutually Beneficial Partnerships," Mr Saraki emphasized the need for a new approach.
The session, titled "Ending Dependency: Rethinking Africa's Path to Prosperity," gathered policymakers, scholars, and development leaders across the continent.
Author's summary: Saraki urges Africa to end dependency and promote self-reliance.
