Fatoumatta Gaye: African investors must rally for continental development

The President of the Africa Chief Executive Club, Fatoumatta Gaye, has said African investors must collaborate for impactful development of the continent.

Gaye made the call on Monday at an event in Abuja as part of efforts to boost the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA.

According to her, cross-border business partnerships among African countries would lead to a safer, stronger, and more connected African business environment.

She noted that alliances among countries in Africa would create new pathways for entrepreneurs to thrive, for women to lead with confidence, and for youth to find opportunities beyond boundaries.

“Through these alliances, we are creating new pathways for entrepreneurs to thrive, for women to lead with confidence, and for youth to find opportunities beyond boundaries.

“We believe that true transformation happens when leadership meets collaboration, when vision meets structure, and when institutions—public and private—come together to move our continent forward,” she stated.
