President Goodluck Jonathan said on Thursday in Abuja that African nations must learn to manage their resources better if they wished to overcome poverty and underdevelopment.
The President stated this at an audience with Pastor Chuck Pierce of Global Spheres International Church.
Pierce, the Corinth, Texas-based pastor is hosting an international conference of his church in Abuja.
President Jonathan said that in spite of current challenges, he was confident that African nations would achieve rapid development and progress.
He, however, called on governments and peoples of the continent to make the right decisions and implement them.
“I believe that we can get to where other nations are, if we do things rightly.
“If we put our acts together, we can take our rightful place in the comity of nations,’’ he said
The President thanked the Pastor for his interest in Nigeria and Africa and urged him to continue to pray for the country and the continent.
Pierce thanked the President for receiving his delegation which included other church leaders from Nigeria and other African countries.
He assured the President of the continued prayerful support of the global church.
