So, Instead of dwelling on our problems, we should now be working together to reverse Africa’s Resource Curse. Don’t get me wrong, this book will not be an idealistic treatise for a better world. It will have more of a ‘stop complaining, get up and get to work’ kind of message—backed up with practical ideas for strategically harnessing Africa’s petroleum resources.” The core purpose behind writing this book NJ Ayuk further stated that the main purpose for him to write this book is to trigger a healthy discussion and dialogue about the future of the African energy industry that is witnessing some big challenges in countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan, Algeria, Uganda, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon, South Africa, Angola, Libya, Niger, Congo, Chad, Mauritania, Tanzania and so on. He further stated, “I know there will be readers who disagree with my points, and I welcome that. Still, We can’t make meaningful, positive changes for everyday Africans until we start discussing a way forward. “The more we advocate personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, and
an enabling environment for investment, Africa’s oil industry and African stand to benefit than relying on foreign aid and assistance.�
