The Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Abbas Tajudeen has said that young African entrepreneurs and professionals are key to innovation, job creation and economic resilience. He recently had his say while speaking at the CEOs Network Awards Gala and Cocktail Night, which was organised by CEOs Network Africa at the National Assembly.

According to him, the passion and risk-taking resilience of African youths will go a long way towards expanding opportunity across sectors.

He added that the event provided an opportunity to examine pressing issues confronting the continent, and the quality of leadership shaping governance and development around Africa.

His words, “It is inspiring to acknowledge that young entrepreneurs and professionals remain central to innovation, job creation, and economic resilience. Their energy and willingness to take risks continue to expand opportunities across sectors. Nigeria’s, and indeed, Africa’s future prosperity depends in large measure on how well this group is supported, guided, and empowered.

The urgency of this gathering lies in its commitment to building a strong community of young professionals who can advance Africa’s vision for a united, resilient, and prosperous continent at a period when the world is in a state of flux and economic competition has intensified old rivalries between power centres.

Our only chance lies in establishing a continent-wide single economy that will expand our market, making it highly attractive and increasing direct foreign investment.”

WOW.
