Africa Must Put Money Where Its Mouth Is – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria has urged that Africa must “put its money where its mouth is.”

He made the remark on Thursday during his address at the Africa CEO Forum in Rwanda.

According to DAILY POST, Tinubu arrived in Rwanda on Wednesday to attend the annual forum.

“For me, Africa needs to put its money where its mouth is. I believe in Africa first,” he said. “It is very welcoming to see that we are up to it, and I must congratulate my brother, the President of Rwanda, and the organisers for putting this together.”

“Investment is very cowardly unless you are transparent, accountable and forthright. Part of that is Africa looking at itself, putting our resources together so we can go out there and negotiate for ourselves.”

“I wrote an article in the Financial Times talking about international rating agencies,” he added.
