He said, “The African economy, I believe in the last couple of years, has shown a remarkable sign of growth; but this growth is unfortunately more of community drive, not of the manufacturing sector. For this growth to be sustained and for it to be transformed into a real national transformation agenda for the development of the nation it must be productivity-based; productivity aspect must come in.”

“And the only way you can do that is to develop your time and technology, to apply science and technology in your economy. Such that the economy, while growing, the productivity of the manufacturer will have played a key role. This is what is happening in developed societies.’’ Bulama added
