What is “GOVERNANCE”
Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, the President of African Development Bank
Governance is about the ability to transform the lives of people.
Not in the far future, but bringing that far future to now.
So, leaders are supposed to be restless people. Restless, because, the people that need water, the people that need food, that are hungry, that need medication care, those people don’t want it 10 years from now. They need it right now.
So, accountability is very important to poor people.
We must have the humanity in us to say that always hear, listen all you do, hear the voices of the poor. They are not just the numbers. The are people we hope and expectations and desires for themselves and for their families.
So, governance, you are not doing them any favor. You are doing what you are supposed to do.
