ASG joins Cairo summit to shape next generation of African leaders - Society
A delegation from the African School of Governance (ASG) has arrived in Cairo to take part in the Future of Digital Countries Summit 2025 (FDC Summit), running from 28–30 April, the institution announced Monday. During the three-day event, ASG representatives will engage with young professionals, policymakers, academics, and Egyptian investors to forge partnerships and recruit future students for its academic programmes. ASG's participation in the summit — which convenes key actors in Africa's digital governance landscape — highlights its focus on the role of effective public leadership in driving digital transformation across the continent. The visit is part of ASG's broader effort to connect with emerging talent and raise awareness among decision-makers of the vital role governance plays in achieving sustainable development. Africa's first indigenous school of governance Launched in Lagos, Nigeria, ASG is the first institution founded by Africans to directly address the continent's unique governance challenges. It offers a curriculum that is both context-sensitive and action-oriented, moving away from externally imposed models. Alongside its degree programmes, ASG provides executive education for mid-career professionals seeking to strengthen their leadership and governance expertise. The school is backed by a prestigious board of globally respected figures whose networks and experience support ASG's academic rigour and continental reach. Continental tour and open applications Following its stop in Cairo, ASG will continue its outreach tour to key African cities including Nairobi, Abidjan, and Maputo, with more destinations to be announced. The initiative aims to identify and nurture talent across the continent's diverse linguistic and regional contexts, while strengthening local ecosystems and building a robust network of future public leaders. With Africa's population projected to grow significantly in the coming decades, ASG emphasised the urgent need for well-trained, innovative public leaders. Backed by $20 million in launch funding, the school is calling on ambitious young Africans to apply for its September 2025 intake. Applications are now open for those eager to develop the skills required to govern with excellence, innovation, and integrity. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

ASG Brings Pan-African Vision to Cairo, Seeks Future Leaders
The African School of Governance (ASG) has arrived in Cairo as part of its ambitious African tour to shape the continent's next generation of public leaders. Following a successful launch in Lagos earlier this year, ASG's visit to Egypt coincides with the Future of Digital Countries Summit 2025 (FDC Summit), running from April 28 to 30. Led by Professor Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and President of ASG, the delegation is engaging with young professionals, public officials, academics, and investors in an effort to recruit top talent for its innovative Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, which will begin in Kigali this September. Redefining Public Leadership in Africa Founded by Africans to meet Africa's unique governance challenges, ASG offers a distinct educational model that moves away from traditional imported frameworks. Its MPA program combines leadership training for African transformation, public governance, African history, international relations, and decision sciences. 'Africa cannot transform without a generation of enlightened public leaders capable of combining intellectual rigor, ethics, and strategic vision,' said Professor Moghalu during the opening day in Cairo. ASG's academic partnerships with institutions like the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore and support from the Mastercard Foundation underscore its commitment to world-class education rooted in African realities. Strategic Cairo Stop ASG's participation in the FDC Summit aligns with the growing importance of digital governance across the continent. Professor Moghalu emphasized that good governance must underpin Africa's digital transformation to ensure sustainable development. Throughout the Cairo stop, the ASG team is conducting recruitment sessions, forging partnerships with Egyptian universities and institutions, and seeking to engage local investors interested in supporting African leadership development. Building a Pan-African Network The Cairo leg is the second in ASG's broader tour, which will soon move to Nairobi, Abidjan, and Maputo. The tour is designed to connect five key African regions, promoting linguistic, cultural, and intellectual diversity in ASG's student body. ASG's efforts are backed by a distinguished board, including Donald Kaberuka, former President of the African Development Bank; Makhtar Diop, Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation; Hajer Gueldich, Legal Advisor to the African Union; and Kishore Mahbubani, renowned Singaporean diplomat and academic. With $20 million already secured for its launch phase, ASG is calling on ambitious and visionary young Africans to apply for the inaugural MPA program. 'The fate of Africa, and particularly that of its youth, will be determined by the bold choices we make today,' Professor Moghalu concluded, encouraging Egypt's rising leaders to join this transformative journey.
