Making a presentation at the opening of the Summit, the President said insecurity had remained the dominant factor impeding development on the Continent.

He warned that the neglect of Africa was a danger to the rest of the world, urging the developed world to build an inclusive economy that will take into acoount demographic density.
The President said the fight against hunger and poverty was not a matter of choice, but that of priority for Nigeria, reflecting that the country has over 70 percent youth population needing education and jobs.
