The youth must be at the centre of Africa's revolution

In recent years, Africa has staged remarkable economic growth as a result of natural resources development and soaring resource prices.

The continent is also achieving progress on various social fronts,including lower infant mortality and higher school attendance.

Africa boasts a population of over 1 billion people, and by 2050 our labour force is expected to become the largest in the world, exceeding those in China and India.

The pressing issue facing the continent is future job creation the youth aged under 15, I must note that that age braket is one of the fast-growing group that represents 41% of the Africa's continent's population.

Solving this issue will require that the industrial development of all African Union Partner States through out Africa be conducted without delay.Bse that's where African Continent future holds as a matter of fact.

From the 2000s, from many records available its clear that Western World especially Europe and Japan have acted as strategic partners to African nations which I must salute them for their noble contribution. In recent years, however, the support structure has changed significantly from government-led aid to public-private partnerships aiming on African Development and further recognizing the private sector's role as a driving force for growth and the importance of respecting African ownership.

It should be noted that in this generation where youth and all others are at the center play to create meaningful change,the Africa we want is on the rise at the center of it all, we are the builders and should play our part so well and witness things change.

If we exercise our mandate well, things will never remain the same in the continent.
