Ghana’s Potential: A Call for the Right Leadership “Ghana is a blessed country—rich in resources, culture, and potential. But we often fail to realize these blessings because the wrong people are in key positions, steering the ship in the wrong direction,” says Claudia Lomo, CEO of Glitz Africa. Claudia passionately believes that leadership should come with maturity, character, and resilience. “If I’ve built these qualities and I’m fit for the control room, why shouldn’t I fight to serve my country?” she asked. For Claudia, standing on the sidelines isn’t an option in a country where leadership often lacks vision and accountability. She refuses to be a spectator while Ghana struggles to harness its potential. Her message is clear: Ghana needs the right people in higher political positions—leaders who are prepared, principled, and driven to make a difference. What qualities do you think are essential for leaders to unlock Ghana’s full potential? #Leadership #GhanaRising #ServiceToNation #GlitzAfrica #BuildingTheFuture

Africa needs a new brand of leadership…upstanding and visionary leaders who can tackle the complex challenges with homegrown solutions. Rwanda’s success stands as a blueprint for transformation through good governance and - under the initiative of our President, H.E Paul Kagame - ASG will undoubtedly help to plug the vacuum often left by our continent’s greatest leaders. #AfricanSolutionsForAfricanProblems

At ASIS 2024, Oluwasoromidayo George, Board Chair of the UN Global Compact Network Nigeria, emphasized the critical role of empowering youth through strategic initiatives such as leadership development programs, mentorship, and industry-driven partnerships. By aligning these initiatives with key sectors and equipping young Nigerians with future-ready skills and high-impact networks, we can unlock their potential and drive innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development. The summit highlighted that addressing Nigeria’s complex challenges requires a multi-stakeholder approach, focusing on scalable and sustainable solutions that empower the next generation to lead with purpose and resilience. Strategic collaboration between the private sector, government, and civil society is essential to create lasting impact. #ASIS2024 #Partnerships #SustainableDevelopment

Governance helps you to always act in the best interests of the business. More specifically, it can improve the performance of your business, help it become more stable and productive, and unlock new opportunities. Strong governance gets noticed by shareholders, stakeholders, employees, and customers alike and strongly affects an organizations reputation. That's one of the many reasons corporate governance is so important; it can and does lead to a higher or a lower company valuation. Good governments can reduce risks, and enable faster and safer growth.

SHAPING LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE Great conversations about the future of our country are happening. Tomorrow, we shall be on X-SPACES discussing Civil Service Accountability and Transparency, and how this affects country's governance. Plan to join the conversation.

This is the next big thing for Africa

This is one of the many reasons that I continue to say that Rwanda reminds me of Goldman Sachs. People have a lot of things to say about leaders and about well-run organizations. My experiences at Goldman Sachs and in Rwanda offer a specific vantage point. From that position, I say that Rwanda strives to implement into its national development strategy across sectors what all Goldman Sachs alumni know by heart: “It is not as important to be the biggest but the best.” Larger economies have the advantage of a big population from which to pull talent and to draw attention globally. Smaller nations must compete against these larger nations in order to accelerate their growth by operating efficiently, communicating clearly, and working effectively. The African School of Governance - ASG is a significant step in the right direction for the good of all, and launching in Kigali adds another data point of interest and signal to Africanist thinkers and Pan-Africanists as Kigali expands its tertiary education offerings and welcomes students from throughout the African Continent. A focus on educating Africa’s future leaders with specific attention to governance and strategy and commerce through quality education is an exceptional focus. Mastercard Foundation continues to demonstrate itself to be one of the noteworthy organizations in the space of African education and international education development. For that a salute is due. To President Paul Kagame & and H.E. Hailemariam Desalegn: respect for thinking about to the present & future need for capable leaders to govern the Continent prioritizing the interest of its peoples.
