The Mo Ibrahim Foundation recently announced the cancellation of the 2024 Ibrahim Governance Weekend due to insurmountable administrative difficulties. The foundation expressed its gratitude for the cooperation received from the Governor of Lagos and the Nigerian government in making the event possible, but ultimately decided that the logistical challenges were too great to overcome.
The event, which was scheduled to take place in April, was set to focus on the theme of “Financing Africa”. Despite the cancellation of this year’s event, the foundation reassured stakeholders that their work on this important topic will continue and will shape the agenda for the year ahead.
In a statement released by the foundation, they expressed their disappointment at having to cancel the event but emphasized their commitment to their mission of promoting good governance in Africa. They also expressed their appreciation for the continued support of their many stakeholders and looked forward to celebrating with them at the 2025 Ibrahim Governance Weekend next spring.
The Ibrahim Governance Weekend is a highly anticipated event that brings together political leaders, business executives, and civil society members to discuss and debate issues related to governance and development in Africa. It provides a platform for sharing ideas, exchanging best practices, and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders.
The decision to cancel the event was not taken lightly, but the foundation believed it was the best course of action given the challenges they faced. Despite this setback, they remain committed to their mission and to working towards a better future for the people of Africa.
Looking ahead, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation will continue its work on the theme of Financing Africa, exploring ways to support economic growth and development on the continent. They will also seek to strengthen their relationships with their stakeholders and ensure that the 2025 Ibrahim Governance Weekend is a great success.
In conclusion, while the cancellation of the 2024 Ibrahim Governance Weekend is disappointing, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation remains dedicated to its mission of promoting good governance and working towards a brighter future for Africa. They are grateful for the support they have received and look forward to a successful event in 2025.
