Job Creation Key to Global Peace - Gov. Okowa

Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has called on the international community to partner with African nations on job and wealth creation "as a means to ensuring global peace and security."

Delivering the Keynote Address at the Africa Industrialization Day at the United Nations Office in New York today (November 24, 2015), Dr Okowa said beyond creating awareness of the challenges of industrialisation in Africa, the Forum should address the need for "firm commitments to strengthen partnerships that will drive industrialisation in Africa, create jobs and sustainable opportunities for youths, women and all people to enjoy better social and economic well-being."
