They witnessed Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, being honored as the African of the Year 2019.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0Themed \u2018<strong>Africa for Africans \u2013 Exploring the Gains of a Connected Continent\u2019, the evening brought together dignitaries including South African Deputy President, David D Mabuza, South African\u00a0<\/strong>Ministers Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Lindiwe Zulu, and Dr. Ken Giami, Publisher of African Leadership Magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The highlight of the event was the keynote speech delivered by Dr. Adesina. His passion for the continent was palpable, connecting with the attentive audience throughout his speech. Dr. Adesina expressed his humility in being \u201crecognised for my very modest achievements and contributions to Africa. Humbled to be nominated by what I gather to be\u00a0<s>the<\/s>\u00a060% of the votes cast by some 1 million people, humbled to be at the helm of an organisation that is making a tremendous difference across Africa &#8211; the African Development Bank. An organisation that is daily making prosperity a reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">He dedicated the award to his wife, Grace, the Board, staff, and colleagues at the bank, his mother, and \u201cto the young mothers, struggling to bring up a child, to the farmer in search of a better tomorrow, to the youth of Africa longing for a better future, and to Africa\u2019s journalists who risk their lives in helping to tell Africa\u2019s true story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Dr Adesina, the visionary behind the African Development Bank\u2019s\u00a0<em>High 5 s<\/em>trategy, explained that primary focus of the African Development Bank is \u201cto light up and power Africa, to feed Africa, to industrialise Africa, to integrate Africa, and to improve the quality of life of the people of Africa. Five simple, strategic, and highly focused objectives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">South African Deputy President, David Mabuza, delivered the second keynote speech. Accepting the Award on behalf of South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar Teny, Mabuza said: \u201cthe struggles of our people and their development aspirations remain fundamentally intertwined with those of fellow Africans elsewhere on the Continent.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">He added: \u201cthese are the values that President Oliver Tambo and President Nelson Mandela taught us.\u00a0Our commitment to the cause of a prosperous and better Africa is unwavering. It is in that spirit that as a country, we have placed our resources both human and financial, to the resolutions of conflicts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The African Leadership Magazine Persons of the Year Awards is now the most popular vote-based third-party endorsement in Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Dr. Adesina was elected the 8th President of the African Development Bank in 2015. He has been a leader in the African agricultural innovation space for over 30 years. He has contributed to Africa\u2019s economic growth by helping to strengthen the continent\u2019s food security and promoting a workable agribusiness model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Under his leadership, in the past four years, the bank has helped 18 million people get electricity, 141 million people get agricultural technologies, 13 million people get finance through private sector investee companies, 101 million people get improved transport services, and 60 million people get better water and sanitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In his remarks, Adesina urged Africans to rise, be bold and determined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0\u201cAfrica does not need anyone to believe in her or to affirm her place and position in history.
