USE RESOURCES FOR THE BENEFIT OF AFRICANS – MAHAMA TELLS AU

President John Mahama has urged heads of state within the African Union (AU) to priorities approaches that ensure accountability and the effective use of resources for the benefit of citizens.
The president was speaking at a two-day retreat in Nairobi, Kenya, where AU leaders gathered to discuss ways to revitalize the union.
He added that the African continent is currently facing challenges such as food insecurity, youth unemployment, climate change, conflict, and government deficits.

Mr. Mahama believes these challenges can be addressed if governments priorities accountability and the mindful use of state resources for the benefit of all, without personal or partisan interests.

The retreat brought together leaders from all AU member states, with the aim of developing new plans and ideas to make the African continent more self-reliant and improve the standard of living for the masses.
