Stakeholders to convene in Rwanda for Africa’s economic growth
Economic stakeholders are set to convene in Kigali, Rwanda, to foster inclusive discussions on Africa’s economic growth at the ‘100 Most Notable Africans Leadership and Business Summit’.
Kingsley Amafibe, project director of Africa for the annual summit, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, Africa is experiencing its share of global economic challenges, and stakeholders need to embrace open dialogue to foster collaboration and partnerships essential for achieving economic growth.
He said a diverse group of stakeholders, both from the public and private sectors, can provide a more complete understanding of the challenges and opportunities for economic growth on the continent.
Mr Amafibe said the event was scheduled for July 4 to 6 in Kigali, bringing together heads of corporate bodies and key industry players from different sectors across Africa.
“The 100 Most Notable Africans Leadership and Business Summit 2025 is a prestigious event that brings together influential business leaders, industry experts, and thought leaders from around the world.
“It is time to look inward, discuss and explore key trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the global business landscape, particularly as they affect our continent,” said Mr Amafibe.
He added that the event would feature keynote addresses, vibrant panel discussions, specialised workshops, and interactive sessions geared towards achieving inclusive economic opportunities and job creation across the continent.
The project director said the economic summit would feature key industry players and leaders as delegates, keynote speakers, and panellists, including Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa and Imane Kendili, chief executive officer of Global Health Morocco.
He said the key thematic area of focus at the summit includes futuristic governance policy, nascent business capacity enhancement, and focusing on streamlining businesses to fit perfectly into today’s highly competitive market.
He said others include sectorial reforms, education, agriculture, infrastructural improvement, and human capacity development aimed at creating jobs and empowering young leaders across Africa.
