Slated for November 4-9, the 6th annual International Convention and Royal Summit by the Africa International Development Organizations (AIDO) Network is set to take place in Lagos. AIDO is a non-profit organization driven by knowledge and dedicated to development with no political affiliations. In anticipation of the event, executives from the London headquarters of the organization have arranged a trip to Lagos State to meet with government officials, local leaders, and other key players in the state where the event is set to occur.
In November, the event will bring together African descendants who have been separated from their homeland, including those who have never been to Africa. The goal of the event is to unite individuals from various industries such as business, culture, agriculture, education, sports, and faith to address human rights violations and advocate for unity, growth, and societal transformation. At the same time as this event, a group of investors from the commonwealth is coming to Nigeria.
Discussing critical issues like Human Rights violations.
This group of investors will attend the summit and showcase their business ideas, aiming to capitalize on the opportunities available in the country. The summit will attract individuals of African descent living outside of Africa, as well as government officials from African countries and all nations in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), such as Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, the Grenadines, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nevis, Saint Kitts and Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Additionally, various important stakeholders will be in attendance. During her address at the convention, Princess Afoma Ojei-Adigwe, the AIDO Nigeria Country Representative, emphasized the significance of showcasing Nigeria’s cultural diversity, economic opportunities, and role in the Pan-African movement.
