 2027: NDC inaugurates presidential campaign council October 20 The Nigeria Democratic Congress has fixed October 20 for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections, with its national chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, insisting that the party remains united behind its presidential ticket. Cleopas disclosed this on Saturday at a press briefing in Abuja, saying the inauguration would take place during a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee, where key decisions on its preparations for the elections would also be ratified. He said the party would present Certificates of Return to its candidates and hold a dinner to strengthen cooperation ahead of the polls. He said, “The propaganda that our party is not committed to the elections is definitely a sign of fear in the camp of the ruling party. “In preparation for full campaign takeoff, we have proposed a meeting of the National Executive Committee of the party on October 20. “It ...

AFRICA'S FUTURE LIES WITHIN THE CONTINENT, SAYS ADESINA. (PHOTO).

 Africa’s future lies within the continent, says Adesina


President of the African Development Bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, on Friday advocated for youth investment in Nigeria’s Agri-business.

Adesina championed the advocacy in his keynote address at the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa Primates and Wives’ Retreat in Abuja.

He spoke on the topic “Food Security and Financial Sustainability in Africa: The Role of the Church”.

Adesina underscored the vital role of youth in revolutionising Nigeria’s agricultural sector and highlighted the success stories of some young entrepreneurs.

The former Minister of Agriculture recounted his symbolic decision to wear a bowtie during his tenure as Minister of Agriculture to make the sector more appealing to young Nigerians.

According to him, the effort is part of a broader strategy to rebrand agriculture as a viable and attractive career path for the youth.

Adesina urged religious and government leaders to support AfDB’s Enable Youth in Agriculture programme, a $490 million initiative designed to foster youth-led agri-businesses across Africa.

He said the programme had already supported 41,000 businesses and created 63,000 jobs, showcasing significant potential for economic growth.

On addressing the critical issue of youth migration out of Africa, Adesina shared his emotional visit to Goree Island in Senegal, a historic site of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

He drew parallels between the historical forced migration and the current perilous journeys taken by young Africans in search of better opportunities abroad.

“Sad that Africa’s future lies within the continent, where equitable growth and quality jobs could be created,” he said.

Adesina highlighted the necessity for new financial institutions like entrepreneurship investment banks, dedicated to supporting young entrepreneurs.

He pointed out the inadequacies of current financial systems that demand unrealistic requirements from young people, hindering their ability to secure funding and thrive.

Adesina criticised superficial political empowerment programmes and called for substantial investments in youth businesses and ideas to drive sustainable development.

He said, “The AfDB’s recent approvals, including $16 million for Liberia’s Entrepreneurship Investment Bank and $32 million for Ethiopia, reflect the bank’s commitment to this vision.”

He, therefore, called for a concerted effort to empower Africa’s youth, ensuring that their potential was harnessed to build a prosperous future for the continent.

Also, the Vice Chairman CAPA and Archbishop of Kenya, Most Rev. Jackson Ole Sapit, called for a unified African Church and resource mobilisation.

He emphasised the importance of unity and resource sharing within the African church.

Sapit said that African solutions should address African problems, rather than relying on Western prescriptions.

He highlighted the potential synergy between AfDB and the church in mobilising resources and communities for holistic transformation.

Sapit called for leveraging local Church gatherings as platforms for learning and knowledge sharing to drive meaningful change.
