Making Africa great
Speaking to the Daily Graphic to throw more light on the event, Dr Sumney said the time had come for all Africans to contribute their quota to make Africa great in the comity of nations.
He said the fear of failure should not stand in the way of Africans seeking to unearth their God-given talents.
He said the resources of Africa must be harnessed for its leaders to develop the continent which had been ravaged by wars, diseases and poverty.
Dr Sumney also expressed worry over the extreme partisanship on the continent and asked the leadership in Ghana to reshape that narrative about the continent by embracing all in nation-building, irrespective of people’s political inclination.
