1) Fix Agriculture

2) Improve Access To Electricity

Amongst the well established problems Africa faces is the problem of Power shortage. Power shortages can hamper socioeconomic development, and also has implications for health and education according to research. This, the African entrepreneur has understood and now highligts that is also badly affecting the sector of creating jobs, bearing in mind that he comes from a country with serious power problems he thinks for Africans to be able to create 50 million jobs by 2020 these power problems must be addressed.

3) Develop Entreprenuership

How do we create jobs if everyone decides to look for a job? This leaves us thinking and implies directly that for people to get jobs others must create it! That is why young Africans must be empowered with entreprenueral skills and mindsets, Tony Elumelu iterated that this point is his life adding what his organization TEF is doing to help with this goal, and for him this is one of the things the entire continent must do to achieve the goal, that said let's get to work!
