The tour will cover key countries including Kenya, the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Uganda, Zambia, Zambia, Zambia, Mozambique, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The agenda of Elumelu, a staunch defender of Africapitalism and transformative private sector leadership, will include high-level meetings with the presidents of these countries, decision-makers audiences, business leaders and young innovators, in order to discuss collaborative strategies for funding infrastructures, digital inclusion and entrepreneurship driven by young people.

This strategic approach comes at a crucial moment, when Africa's GDP is expected to reach 2.6 trillion dollars by 2030, driven by sectors such as telecommunications, educational technology, and consumer goods. By strengthening its ties with global partners, UBA aims to facilitate 50 billion dollars in trade flows and investments over the five next years.
