The President of Liberia, George Weah, is set to be in Lagos to discuss democracy in Africa.

Mr Rasheed Adegbenro, Senior Vice President, CVL, revealed this yesterday.

His words, “One of our objectives is to make policy interventions.

“When we make policy interventions, the government is more likely to listen to us and make policy changes that will benefit the lives of the citizens.

“This year, we are taking a look at a very sensitive issue which borders on democracy.

“We are asking the big question: Is Democracy making life better for us in Africa?’’

“We were told by the Western World that democracy would ensure new investments and make life better for everybody in the developing world by attracting Foreign Direct Investment.

“We have been practising democracy for over 20 years now in Nigeria and we have not moved forward the way we ought to

“Questions are arising and we really need to know if democracy is bringing us the desired development,”
