Kingsley Moghalu, President, African School of Governance (ASG), wrote: “Optimism is politically correct. But hope without action is not a strategy. Some truths need to be told. Whether we want to make progress in our country, or to keep treading water, congratulating ourselves not on real transformation but on potential, is up to us and our leaders. Smart countries confront their problems. That’s the only way the problems get solved. Not by pretending they don’t exist.”
