In Building a New Africa, the continent’s developmental challenges are confronted head-on, offering a bold and optimistic blueprint for a prosperous future. This insightful and compelling book argues that Africa’s rich history, human potential, and natural resources are enough to transform it from a region mired in poverty and underdevelopment into a global leader. The key, however, lies in effective leadership, strong governance, and a collective will for change.

With 20 incisive chapters, the book explores Africa’s past, present, and future, analysing the effects of colonialism, the need for infrastructure and industrialisation, and the critical role of education, entrepreneurship, and technology. Each chapter provides a clear path forward, offering solutions for overcoming the political, economic, and social obstacles that have long hindered the continent’s progress.
