Solution to business, enterprise and governance hurdles in Africa will top the agenda at Platforms Africa’s forthcoming continental forum in Lagos. A statement, which quoted the Team Lead of Platforms Africa, Adeola Yusuf, at the unveiling of the official flier for the event in Lagos today, maintained that the forum, which holds on Monday, November 21, at Sheraton Hotel, Lagos, is to assess legislation and business survival in Africa with the review of the Nigeria’s 9th National Assembly and agenda for the 10th Parliament.
He added that the lack of adequate focus by Africans on the choice of who occupies the legislative seat was a minus, stressing that legislation directly or indirectly makes or mars businesses and lives of the people.
“Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. While a few countries in sub-saharan Africa are slipping back into military rule, more nations in the continent are deep-rooting trees of their democracies.”
