Aliko Dangote, Africa's wealthiest individual, praised President John Dramani Mahama for Ghana's economic resurgence, attributing it to "money following trust." Speaking at a high-level UN General Assembly side event in New York, Dangote acknowledged that Mahama didn't perform miracles but made sound decisions to restore investor confidence.
He emphasized that when leaders inspire trust in a nation's economic path, capital naturally follows. Dangote also advocated for increased mobility across Africa to boost trade, investment, and business linkages. He questioned the persistent use of visas, arguing that restrictions should be removed to facilitate legitimate business and travel.
Dangote believed that security concerns should be handled without hindering economic movement. He envisioned that deeper continental integration, backed by free movement of people and capital, would unlock Africa's economic potential and generate more opportunities for businesses and citizens. The Accra Reset side event served as a forum for leaders, business people, and development partners to discuss a more responsive global system in light of a rapidly evolving world.
