Builder of Africa’s Future

I am a builder. A strategist. A bridge between vision and execution. I have spent my career turning bold ideas into tangible action, ensuring that Africa moves from aspiration to achievement.

 

I have worked to position our continent as a key player in the global economy, ensuring that our industries, markets, and entrepreneurs have the tools they need to thrive. Every step of my journey has been fueled by one goal: to create an Africa that produces, transforms, and prospers on its own terms.

Delivering Real Change for Africa’s Economy

  • A Leader in Economic Strategy & Industrialization

    • I led Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure initiative, securing funding for 69 regional projects worth $169 billion under the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA).

    • I spearheaded the development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), ensuring that Africa moves from exporting raw materials to manufacturing high-value products that benefit our people.

    • I played a key role in shaping Africa’s continental power market, driving the Continental Power Systems Master Plan (CMP)—a vital step toward a unified electricity market that will power our industries and homes.

​​

  • A Champion of Trade & Investment

    • I have been at the forefront of making the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) a reality, setting the foundation for Africa’s largest single market and unlocking new opportunities for our businesses.

    • I have personally negotiated and mobilized funding from key global partners, including AfDB, World Bank, G20, EU, China (FOCAC), USA (AGOA), and Japan (TICAD), ensuring Africa’s economic priorities receive the backing they deserve.

    • I have worked to ensure that small businesses and entrepreneurs have access to markets and financing, because I know that Africa’s transformation will be driven from the ground up by its people.

  • A Reformer in Institutional Transformation & Governance

    • I led the transformation of NEPAD into AUDA-NEPAD, securing critical institutional and financial reforms that have strengthened Africa’s ability to execute large-scale development programs.

    • I modernized the African Union’s administrative and financial systems, introducing digital governance tools and policies that improved efficiency, transparency, and accountability.

    • I have made leadership development a priority, mentoring young African entrepreneurs, training government officials, and shaping the next generation of policymakers through my academic work at ENA Chad & Senghor University.
