Ekos Akpokabayen's 2nd book is socia-economic based, with minor traces of socio-politics. It looks at the dynamics of Africa's emerging market, its growth potential & place in the global economic sphere, & the birth of the African Continental Free Trade Area ( AfCFTA); a drive towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiative and the AU's Agenda 2063 progression.
Ekos tells the African story of regional & continental growth from a perspective of competitiveness, globalization, and geopolitics. Backed by facts & well researched data, he gives thought-provoking narratives of the African economic landscape with policies on money management, global competitiveness, African trade prospects, and intraregional integration, driving the African growth agenda.
Africa has had a lot written about it: from its history to politics and economics, and often these have looked at the negative aspects of this great continent. Often too, they offer prescriptive solutions to our problems without clear in-depth appraisal of the roots of such problems. This book however offers in-depth symptomatic solutions based on past historical occurrences. It delves into Pan-African ideologies and philosophies of our great African Leaders who set the template for freedom, independence and progress that we enjoy today and even looks at the darker era of militarism, coups, liberation struggles and dictatorships, providing convincing insights as to why these became the bane of Africa.
