Kenyan scholar Patrick Lumumba has spoken out against the stereotype of "African time," which refers to the perceived tardiness of people in Africa. According to Punch Nigeria, Lumumba made these comments after a governor's late arrival interrupted his speech at a conference in Kisumu.
Lumumba's remarks were not directly related to a separate discussion on African economies and free movement. However, Gabby Otchere-Darko, the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Africa Prosperity Network, has argued that African countries should prioritize removing visa restrictions to boost economic opportunities and jobs.
Otchere-Darko cited the experience of ECOWAS, a West African economic community, as proof that relatively unrestricted movement among member states can positively contribute to trade within the region.
