This book, New Development Undercurrents in Africa is a critical intervention on contemporary discourses on development in Africa. The contention of many of the chapters in the book is that there is need to provide new information on some of the development undercurrents on the African continent. The book provides new imperatives on development, paying attention to all important sectors of development on the African continent such as education and agriculture, paying attention to influences brought about by artificial intelligence. The book provides the reader with penetrating accounts on the steps which the African continent has made in realms of development from the grassroots to emerging urban enclaves. There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence will continue to play an important role in the contemporary world. The chapters in this book speak to the vigorous manner in which African countries have embraced development and its associated traits such as good education, industrialization, democracy and sustainable environment.
