The importance of industrialization to Africa’s development cannot be overemphasized. In fact, Industrialization has been on Africa’s Development Agenda since the early eighties. The vision adopted in the Lagos Plan of Action was that Africa will achieve economic development through regional cooperation and integration and the industrial sector was to play the role of engine of growth. About 35 years later, despite some progress, industrial development still remains poor in many African countries. However, the good thing about Africa being a late comer for industrialization is that we have now a better understanding and means to promote a more sustainable development by focusing on green growth strategies for our continent.
