'Africa is undeterred by the failures of the past ' - Yemi Osibanjo.


The acting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was at the G7 summit with other world leaders and he had this to say to Nigerians on the experience.
Africa is undeterred by the failures of the past and the continent is motivated by the incredible energy and talent of its bustling youthful population.
Today, I attended the G7 Summit special outreach forum on Africa with selected African nations and leaders including Nigeria, Guinea, Tunisia, Niger, Ethiopia and Kenya.

Africa is confident of the future because we have learnt,...we are investing more in education, insisting on good governance and holding ourselves to account.


But the greatest reason for our optimism is in the incredible energy, talent and creativity of our young people, male and female who are completely undeterred by the failures of the past and are daily taking advantage of innovation and technology bringing about the Africa of our dreams.

I commended the seven most industrialized nations of world for their support in the fight against Boko Haram terrorism, especially the US, France and the United Kingdom as effective partners in the Lake Chad basin. The successes of our joint intelligent unit has provided useful and timely intelligence in the war against terrorism.
