Encouragement needed for African solutions to African problems, says Kenya’s Nyong’o
A symposium in honor of the former Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) Executive Secretary, Professor Adebayo Adedeji, was held in Lagos, Nigeria, Saturday with Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, Governor of Kisumu County in Kenya, urging African intellectuals and academics to encourage African thinking on possible solutions to the continent’s challenges. Prof. Nyong’o, who delivered the keynote address at the ECA-organized symposium, lauded the late Adedeji for the great work he did for Africa, particularly for being the leading proponent of regional integration in Africa. Prof. Nyong’o said he believed Prof. Adedeji changed the discourse on Africa’s political economy and development paradigms. The symposium was held under the theme; Africa’s Development Agenda: Lessons from the Adebayo Adedeji Years and Policy Options for the 21 Century.
