‘Africa is not the future; Africa is the now’ — Sammy Gyamfi tells African youth

He said Africa’s economic progress would depend on young people moving beyond reliance on imported goods to build businesses and industries capable of creating wealth and jobs on the continent.” He urged young people to recognise their potential to shape the continent’s economic direction rather than wait for opportunities to emerge.

He said entrepreneurship and productive enterprise were important drivers of sustainable growth and called on young people to become active participants in Africa’s economic transformation.
