An interesting and very educating story. The African countries and their governments should try to design a plan to meet up with the global demands in the areas of production and quality of goods produced.I believe strongly that with the level of corruption in the continent is the root of the slow growth. This has to be curped and or totally eradicated. If it is not done, the continent will continue to lag behind. I hope the various governments are listening!
