We have the blessing of the wealth of our vast resources, the power of our talents and the potentialities of our people. Let us grasp now the opportunities before us and meet the challenge to our survival.
Julius Nyerere had an unrelenting passion of a united Africa. In opposition to Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, he opted for a regional East African union as a first step, while Nkrumah pushed for a direct and complete union. Jointly, they masterminded the Organization of African Union.
This fireside chat today has focused on the significance of self-sustenance to understand its importance both as an ideology as well as a blueprint for true African Liberation & prosperity.
Financial literacy is important for leaders, it equips them with practical skills and knowledge that extend beyond their time in leadership roles.
