The Right Leader for Africa’s Economic Future

I am a leader who delivers real impact. My leadership experience, strategic vision, and deep knowledge of Africa’s economic landscape make me the right person to drive the African Union’s economic development agenda forward.

 

Through industrialization, trade, infrastructure, and innovation, I will ensure that Africa produces, trades, and competes on its own terms. I will work to build an Africa where prosperity is not a privilege, but a reality for all.

 

The time to act is now. The Africa We Want is within our reach.

I am committed to driving the structural transformation of Africa's economy by focusing on industrialization, strengthening intra-African trade, economic sovereignty, and regional integration. We must build an Africa that produces, transforms its resources, and establishes itself as a global powerhouse.
