By Chris HABEENZU
Nigerian High Commissioner to Zambia, Folake Marcus-Bello says Africa has great potential to improve its energy sector.
Ms Marcus-Bello said yesterday that in the advent of the African Freedom day commemorations, it is important that economic development is also put on the agenda.
The Nigerian envoy explained that Africa’s trade volumes have shown great signs of improvement in the past few years.
Ms Marcus-Bello further noted that African countries have rich natural resources however they are embroiled in conflict.
Africa's energy sector has not been fully exploited due to increased conflicts which are mainly suspected to sponsored by outsiders.
Nigeria is one of the countries that has massive deposites of oil but the region has never exprienced any peace thereby plunging this world oil giant nation into a corrupt nation.
