In an interview with the Guardian, Akinwumi Adesina, head of the African Development Bank, says the outlook is good for a continent with the workers of the future and the best investment opportunities.
Now midway through his second five-year term as president of the African Development Bank , the Nigerian former agriculture minister said the continent's demographic advantage, expanding middle class, and vast investment opportunities meant a shift was underway. "And not before time - we're tired of being at the bottom of the value chain," Adesina said."The fastest way to poverty is through exporting raw materials, but the highway to wealth is through global value chains by adding value to everything you have, from oil to gas to minerals to metals and food. We must add value.
