He saaid corruption and mismanagement of resources help to spread poverty in the continent.
While calling on African leaders to eschew sit tight syndrome, he cited example of Gabon where after second tenure of the president, he ran for third term against the wishes of his people and despite the fact the country is the fourth largest oil producing country in Africa, majority of the citizens remain in abject poverty.
In the case of Niger despite abundant mineral resources, which include Uranium, the country remains one of the poorest countries on earth.
