An International Conference with the theme, Africa's Economy: The Way Forward, is to hold at the Newark City Hall, Newark, New Jersey, United States of America (USA) on Saturday, October 22, 2022 from (9:00AM EST) (2:00 PM WAT) prompt.
With Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), a pan Africanist, who has been in the forefront of advocacy for the transformation of the Continent, as Special Guest of Honour, an array of experts cutting across different disciplines will, in a no holds barred manner, attempt to get to the roots of the seemingly unfathomable paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty that has so far remained the lot of Africa, the Mother Continent of all Blacks across the world.
Top diplomats, political leaders, captains of industry, senior government functionaries, Clerics, academics, media chiefs and others from all over the world will be part of the hybrid Conference that is to attempt to draw an economic road map for the African Continent with the aim of making the world a better place for all.
The program will hold at the iconic and historic Rotunda of the Newark City Hall on Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, from 9:00 am (EST), 2:))pm (WAT).
