According to President Bola Tinubu, cooperation and inclusivity are essential for accomplishing global food security, tackling problems as a group, and fostering innovation across a range of sectors for a more secure and prosperous world.
During a high-level panel discussion on Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at the World Economic Forum Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development, President Tinubu stated that “collaboration and inclusiveness,” particularly in relation to Africa, are essential to creating a future of hope, peace, and advancement for all.
He claimed that capital mobilization could no longer be disregarded as it is essential to promoting economic expansion and related advances in Africa.
The President made the argument that although the continent is abundantly resource-rich, its material and economic conditions must also reflect the diversity of its riches.
“The capital formation that is necessary to drive the economy, agriculture, ensure food security, innovation, and technological advancement must be an inclusive programme of the entire world. No one should be left behind.
President Tinubu stated “I am glad the world is recognising the need for cooperation, and that with the type of population growth that Africa is experiencing; the diversity of its resources must be married with economic opportunity. We must collaborate to achieve that.”
In addition to highlighting the need for a thorough grasp of the present situation’s vectors, the President urged world leaders to pay attention to the events in the Sahel and suggested working together to find long-term solutions.
“We are encouraging the entire world to pay attention to the Sahel and the other countries around us. As the Chairman of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, I have wielded the big influence of Nigeria to discourage all unconstitutional change of government. Equally, we have eased the sanctions. We need to trade with one another; not fight each other. It is very necessary and compulsory for us to engender growth, stability, and economic prosperity for our people in West Africa.”
