President Bola Tinubu says that Africa has the capacity and resources needed for it to develop itself and should look inward to improve intra-African trade in the interest of the people and the continent.
The President said this on his official X account on Monday, adding that he had successful conversations with the Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, on the eve of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2025).
“We have the resources, the people, and the capacity. We must look inward to improve intra-African trade and collaboration to benefit the African people and the continent.
“The time for Africa is now. We can. We must. We will,” said Tinubu.
The president departed Abuja on January 11 to participate in the 2025 edition of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
