Quotes from past speakers
Stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower and humanise.
Catherine Duggan

For Africa’s Moonshot 2050, quality jobs must be created in sufficient numbers to absorb the emerging youth.
Patrick Njoroge
Former governor, of the Central Bank of Kenya
As a policymaker, I am committed to one thing, that is, if at the end of the day; we cannot make policies and we do not make policies that impact the ordinary Nigerian on the street, then what is the point of doing them?
Olayemi Cardoso
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
We have the essentials for Africa’s Moonshot to 2050. It is up to each of us to determine the outcome. We can write the story of Africa’s new golden age but there are no simple solutions.
