Renowned Ghanaian cleric Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has lamented the lack of effective leadership across Africa, calling for a new generation of visionary and selfless leaders to drive the continent forward.

The Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International voiced his concerns over the ongoing political and economic struggles in many African nations, despite the continent’s vast natural resources and untapped potential.

“When you look at some of the crises on our continent, it just doesn’t make sense. I don’t want to mention names of countries, but it just doesn’t make sense for us to retrogress with all that we have,” he lamented on The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV.

Duncan-Williams emphasized that Africa’s struggles are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of purposeful leadership.

He pointed to Ghana’s rich deposits of gold, oil, and cocoa as examples of untapped potential that could transform the country if properly managed.

“There’s no reason why our currency cannot do better. With the gold reserves we have and the oil and cocoa, we can do better,” he said. “We just need visionary leaders and selfless leaders.”

He warned that without a change in leadership mindset, Africa risks missing out on the benefits of its own wealth and the aspirations of its people.

According to him, progress can only be achieved if leaders focus less on personal gain and more on national development.
