African countries are virgin as far as vital infrastructures are concerned. Indeed, there is, in any of the 48 sub-Saharan African countries, a dramatic lack of roads, bridges, public hospitals, private clinics, industrial plants, low cost housing schemes, cities transportation networks. Etc.
There is also a huge market for the development of all kinds of productions for the export market:
Rice, corn, coffee, cocoa, oil, mineral ores; and establishing big agribusiness
ventures. In fact, business opportunities are endless in any African
country and we at Dr. Quenum & Associates used to say that: "There
is no poor African country. Only lack of imagination and mismanagement...."
Over years, month after month, we back up above assertion with a string of
economic deliveries on "how the continent could easily bridge the developing gap."

double-digit-economic growth rate.
