President Bola Tinubu has urged Africans world-wide to unite in building a future of “honour, promise and dignity for the black race.”
Tinubu made the call during a dinner hosted in his honour by Saint Lucia’s Prime Minister, Philip Pierre, on Tuesday night in Castries.
A statement on the event, was issued by Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja
Tinubu also called on Africans in the diaspora to harness technology and innovation to drive meaningful social progress.
”It is not the fault of our forebears that we find ourselves dispersed,” Tinubu said.
“We can work together, be together, enjoy what we’ve, and build a future of promise, honour, and dignity for the Black race.
”I am unapologetically Afrocentric in my belief. I have travelled far and wide, and no one is as industrious, determined and focused as the black people worldwide.”
He stressed the importance of synergy among Africans, nations and those in the Diaspora, especially through technology and industrialisation.
