“African Development Bank has become the darling of all of us in Africa. Whatever African Development Bank has done in the last six, seven, eight years, let them continue to do more. We will not make the type of progress we should make in Africa until the problem of infrastructure within our different countries, within our sub-region and within the continent of Africa itself is solved. You have a growing number of young people in all our countries that are feeling hopeless because they do not see where they will get a job. So our development must be mindful of job creation, both employment and self-employment. And where do I see that will it be coming from? Agribusiness, SMEs, IT and of course manufacturing. African Development Bank, so far so good. But continue to do more.”
