Nurturing young leaders who are aware of the evolving global geopolitical landscape is crucial to spearhead continental change in Africa.
Africa’s quest for freedom and equality is essential in overcoming colonial oppression. The struggle was championed by remarkable African leaders and laid the groundwork for the formation of the African Union.
The young generation of the continent should devise solutions rooted in wisdom and knowledge to tackle pressing issues such as unemployment, climate change, and political instability in Africa. Young leaders will generate ideas and make decisions that are relevant to the new global geopolitics.
