The coming centuries will be advantageous for Africa from the development perspective.
Colin Sentango, chairman of the Governing Council of the Uganda-based Makerere University Business School, said this while inaugurating the Centre for African Studies at Justice K.S. Hegde Institute of Management at Nitte in Udupi district recently.
