Former Economic Community of West African State (ECOWAS) Commission President, Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, says African leaders must demonstrate commitment to good governance by reducing poverty and unemployment on the continent.
Speaking at the University of Ghana Alumni Lecture on Governance and LeadershipThursday, Dr Ibn Chambas said the continent requires transformational leaders who will be committed to implementing well researched and statistically-based ideas that address key challenges facing the populace.
Also, he said "a new culture of decision making and policy making based on concrete facts and established statistical basis should be ingrained in our students from early on."
He called on African leaders to end to the phenomenon of quickly coming out with projects but fail woefully in their execution or implementation.
