Osinbajo to speak on Africa’s economy at US conference Oct 22

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been slated to speak at an international conference to proffer answers to ‘troubling questions’ concerning Africa’s economy.

Organisers of the event, Global Patriot Newspapers (GPN), a United States-based media company, in a recent statement, said the conference is themed, ‘Africa’s economy: the way forward’.

The event will hold in Newark, New Jersey, United States of America (USA) on Saturday, October 22, 2022.

Osinbajo will join other top diplomats, political leaders, captains of industry, senior government functionaries, clerics, academics, media chiefs and others from all over the world, to speak at the event.

Global Patriot Newspapers, said the aim of the conference is to begin a new conversation aimed at proffering fresh answers to old but still troubling questions, especially concerning why a continent as resource-rich as Africa must continue to remain the poverty capital of the world.

Simon Ibe, publisher and editor-in-chief, GPN, said two successful conferences have been held in the past.

He also said this year’s speakers will be part of the conference to draw an economic road map for the African continent with the aim of making the world a better place for all.

“This year’s conference on Africa’s economy is parading an equally formidable line-up of committed pan-Africanists and people of African descent and will have participants from all over the world, all of who want remediation of the sorry situation that presently passes as the economy of Africa,” he said.
