For many present, this was the first time witnessing the brilliance of the panelists who are all leaders in their respective fields. Moderated by legal practitioner, Ms. Ayo Obe, the panel featured the chairman of UBA Bank and Founder of Tony Elumelu Foundation, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Afrobeat Musician, Femi Kuti; Guinean historian and playwright, Professor Djibril Niane, Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, Politician, and daughter of late former President of Ghana, Ms. Samia Nkrumah. They called on Africans to be mindful of their rich history, which creates the path towards the socio-cultural, economic and political development of the continent.
“This is a representation of the awakening of Africa, a vision to change things for ourselves and seeing organizations of this magnitude coming together with a shared vision is a reminder of all we can achieve together.”
“AfricaDay is not just a celebration, it’s a reminder to all of us that there’s still much more to be done in uplifting our continent & until we do that, we will continue in the expectation that other Africans and friends of Africa will join the conversation of the new Africa.”
