This initiative seem to be a laudable idea, but its more critical for African nations at WEF to come up with a holistic approach to strategic investments execution and be able achieve synergy across KPIs.... Focus and unwavering determination is of the essence in terms of socio-political dynamics which often undermines most our collective advances across Africa... Adherence to fundamental government policies and infrastructural commitments is a bane and critical challenge in Africa. A situation where successive government are so partisan to point undermining achievements of predecessor government and in-turn kick start another grand idea from level zero; and surprisingly would be the same project in a different format... "a circus of some sort while time and money are continually expended is more worrisome".
