The Coordinating Minister of Nigeria’s economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has announced that the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Africa, will hold at Abuja in 2014. She made the announcement as the WEF on Africa for 2013 concluded last week in Cape Town, South Africa. The annual event will be held for the 24th time next year. It provides the opportunity for business leaders, heads of governments and people to discuss economy in Africa and ways to progress. The Minister said about Nigeria; “I think we epitomise a lot of things about Africa. We have the excitement, the passion, the entrepreneurship, the private sector drive and the glow for the future. But we also epitomise all of the difficult challenges of the continent such as infrastructure deficit, governance issues, corruption and transparency.”
