Despite implementing democratic multiparty-system in Guinea over two decades, governance has barely improved; the hope to eradicate poverty and provide security was dashed when people involved in politics for the wrong reasons. Great effort is spent on economic and social marginalisation through ethnic politics that is selective in dealing with economic empowerment. This study postulates that genuine changes are needed to address the malice that affect Guinean society. There is pressing need to expand human resource development. This requires adequate investments in various industrial activities. Failure in these would only add to the woe of Guinea and shall undermine its own security.
