The founder and executive chairman of the Africa Prosperity Network (APN), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has said investment in infrastructure plays a crucial role in unlocking the prosperity of Africa.
According to him, this is the right time to unlock Africa’s socio-economic growth with the right decision.
Speaking at the official launch of the third edition of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD) in Accra on Monday (13 May) Otchere-Darko said, “Imagine what Africa will be like in 20 years if we choose to get it right in this our time.”
“Despite the continent’s potential, its infrastructure gap serves as a more potent blockade. The success of AfCFTA hinges on key enablers such as energy, water, research and development, ICT, transport and logistics and the digital economy.”
He added, “This calls for substantial investment in infrastructure that will yield even greater rewards …we stand at a critical juncture in history where unlocking prosperity now more than ever depends on prioritising investment in infrastructure.”
