A Cameroonian journalist and founder of Afrikultures, Tessa Banks, has urged leaders in Africa to have faith in the continent and to recognise its potential.
 
Banks called on Africans to wake up and broaden their shoulders in terms of economic development and trade.

He says Africans have suffered for too long from the aftermath of the colonial era.

Banks addressed a three-day business conference and expo aimed at creating an opportunity for local traders to network and understand their role in the economy.
