Governments in Africa should more focus on the issues of education. Educated people are able to understand the today world better and accommodate themselves better.

Africa's sustainable development agenda, to a large extent depends on its political leadership that must be transformative, by making the right political policies and ensuring its implementation. This imperative is necessary for African countries to channel their resources to infrastructural development by adopting public-private partnership model and motivations for businesses and entrepreneurship to create, innovate and harness her social capital that would engender economic growth and good governance.
Other critical variables include good governance practices, citizens participation in governance processes, embracing research for development policy and practice, citizens' empowerment, technological development, building strong institutions, collaboration with African diaspora communities and the international community for support towards achieving sustainable development agenda.
The major challenge is lack of political will by most African leaders to embrace reforms that would foster national development and undercut their influence and power base. For instance, the issue of restructuring in Nigeria.
Africa should learn how Singapore was transformed from a developing nation to a first class world nation within a short period as a result of transformative leadership.
The international community should support African nations to build citizen-centered political culture for effective and responsive leadership and responsible and active followership towards attaining Africa's sustainable development.
The African leaders should consider the following things.
1. Citizens should be their first priority instead of satisfying their pilitical parties!
2. By providing education with enough supporting facilities. The kind of education which prepares entrepreneurs and not people who will be looking for employments after studies. In short the education system should create creative and innovative students who will be able to stand by their own and use the knowledge they have to create employments and solve problems.
3. They have to review and change their policies and ruling systems.
4. Proper utilization of the resources available!!
