Anigbogu: African Leaders Must Deliver Development Results in 90 Days
• Says continent needs execution revolution, not endless policy declarations • Advocates shift from consumption to production, knowledge creation • Osun First Lady says foundation has empowered over 3,000 women,
Professor Vincent Anigbogu, Founder and Director-General of the Institute for National Transformation International, has urged African leaders to deliver measurable development results within 90 days. He argued that Africa's underdevelopment is not due to a lack of resources, but rather a failure to convert available opportunities into productive enterprises and improve living conditions.
Anigbogu warned against endless meetings, abandoned programmes, and weak accountability, and called for an execution revolution rather than endless policy declarations. During the 2026 STEP Delegate Leadership Summit, Anigbogu emphasized the need to bridge the gap between development aspirations and actual performance, citing a 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index and a 2026 United Nations assessment of Sustainable Development Goals.
He stressed that disciplined leadership, thinking, and systems are essential for Africa's transformation. The summit aimed to strengthen leadership capacity, institutional performance, and the application of Science, Technology, and Innovation to Africa's economic transformation.
