The deficit of leadership capital in Africa has been a longstanding challenge, contributing to the continent's stagnation, and underdevelopment. Recognizing this urgent need for transformation, the GOTNI Leadership Centre proudly announces the inaugural edition of the Africa Leadership Conference (ALC) slated to take place on the 17th & 18th of May, 2024, at the prestigious Kempinski Hotel, Gold Coast City, Accra, Ghana.
Themed "Transformational Leadership, the Panacea for Africa’s Rising," this conference seeks to address pivotal challenges surrounding leadership development and management that have long hindered the progress of the African continent. With Africa's burgeoning youth population and vast resources, the imperative to reposition the continent for sustainable growth has never been more pressing.

Justice Mabel Segun Bello, Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, George C. Fraser, Chairman and CEO of FraserNet, Inc., and Prof. P.LO. Lumumba, Chairman, The PLO Lumumba Foundation, among other luminaries.
"Our goal is to inspire a new generation of leaders for Africa, bridge the gap between Africans at home and abroad, and establish a new leadership culture that fosters socioeconomic development across the continent," added Sam Hart mni, Chief Operating Officer, GOTNI Leadership Centre.
