Dr. Urua, spoke on a number of topics as detailed in the below timeline for your ease of reference:
- There are a lot of options in joining financiers to those who need financing
- conversations must lead to implementation
- we must invest ourselves as Africans
- On projects and infrastructure, the private sector is willing to finance, but parameters must be right and create the right atmosphere to come onboard and support.
- There must be good ROI
- On PIDA financing:
- Advised that their each country project has its own level of complexity
- Make sure the projects are scrutinised in detail in relation to policy
- Understand geo political/cross boarder policies so that there is harmony
- Allow private sector to run projects and not government organisations, that will allow successful implementation because the private sector will make sure the projects are sustainable
- On the collaboration of private and public for the successful implementation of the projects for all:
- Collaboration is the best option
- Some of the projects, the parastatal must lead and on others, governments must invite the private sector to lead them to ensure all the dimensions and critical points are covered, attracting financing from everywhere.
