Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has stated that for African countries to attain desired prosperous future, they must focus on homegrown development.
He said: “Nobody is going to do Africa any favour and the current generation of Africa’s youths and leaders must quickly banish what I call the ‘Foreign Investor’ syndrome. “We have enough resources in copper to dominate technology, enough cassava to replace corn starch with cassava starch, enough cocoa to make our own chocolate, enough nickel iron ore to build our own steel plants and 1.2 Billion people who guarantee a market for what we make and a shared prosperity for as many.”
