President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will, at the invitation of President Barack Obama, leave for Washington DC early Sunday to participate in a three-day United States-African Leaders Summit.President Jonathan will join President Obama and about 50 other participating African leaders for discussions that are expected to lead to greater progress in key areas such as expanding trade and investment ties, promoting inclusive sustainable development and expanding cooperation on peace and security.
The Summit, which is the first of its kind between an American President and African heads of state and government, is expected to greatly strengthen ties between the United States, Nigeria and other African countries.
Will America look issues affecting Africa with their own lense or that of Africa. For example economic models and laws that work in America& Britain perfectly may not be realistic here. Unemployment &Inflation are supposed to work in inverse direction but here in African they move in same direction. On the other hand, will Afri can leaders put what they hear into practical daily use? Will they implement the things they will hear? We are waiting.
