In a statement released by his media aide, Laolu Akande, he said, “Africa is undeterred by the failures of the past and the continent is motivated by the incredible energy and talent of its bustling youthful population.
“Africa is confident of the future because we have learnt,…we are investing more in education, insisting on good governance and holding ourselves to account.
“But the greatest reason for our optimism is in the incredible energy, talent and creativity of our young people, male and female who are completely undeterred by the failures of the past and are daily taking advantage of innovation and technology bringing about the Africa of our dreams.”
Osinbajo assured the G7 countries of the unity of Africa in terms of trade, counter terrorism and strengthening democracy.
