Africa CEO Forum: Strengthening Africa’s Economic Agenda

At this year’s Africa CEO Forum, we participated in global discussions on business sustainability and digital governance. Our Chairman, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, shared insights on driving sustainable transformation of family-owned businesses, while our Director of Programmes, Chioma Njoku, led a panel on the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing public service delivery.

At this year’s Africa CEO Forum, political and economic leaders from different countries gathered to discuss the theme "Can a New Public-Private Deal Reshape the Continent's Future?"

Our Chairman, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, alongside the Chairman of McKinsey Africa, Acha Leke, participated in a thought-provoking session titled "Built to Last." They discussed ways to sustain the institutional longevity of Family-Owned Businesses (FOBs) and explored essential pillars for long-term business success. Our chairman shared valuable insights on building organisations that transcend generations and contribute meaningfully to Africa's economic landscape. [Watch the full session here].

Additionally, our Director of Programmes, Chioma Njoku, moderated a panel session titled: "AI Powered African Governments: Future Vision or Pipe Dream?" The session explored how artificial intelligence can transform public service delivery across the continent. Panellists explored whether AI-powered governance is a realistic way forward or merely an aspirational goal and how African countries can develop sovereign, inclusive, and secure AI strategies.

Since inception, the Africa CEO Forum has played a significant role in driving economic integration, strengthening private sector leadership, and shaping Africa’s development agenda. We remain committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen public-private partnerships and enhance the capacity of institutions to deliver results across the continent.
