Founded in 2012 by Jeune Afrique Media and co-hosted by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the forum has become the largest annual gathering of African private sector leaders, investors, and policymakers.

It focuses on accelerating economic transformation through shared scale, regional integration, and increased cross-border investment.

The theme of this year’s forum is: "The Scale Imperative: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership."

At the forum, President Tinubu will speak on "Holding the Line: Nigeria’s Reform Bet in a Fractured World," highlighting the gains of sustaining Nigeria’s bold reforms, among other topics. 

The President will also hold high-level bilateral meetings with top global and African business leaders while reaffirming Nigeria’s leadership role in shaping the continent’s future.

Tinubu will use the occasion of the summit to reaffirm Nigeria’s commitment to advancing African unity, deepening regional economic cooperation, and fostering strategic partnerships to accelerate private sector-driven sustainable development across the continent.

This was contained in a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday.
