If I have the opportunity today, the first thing I will get rid of is incompetence, then I will have to fight corruption, says former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo.
“There’s no country where there’s absolutely no corruption, but there are many countries where corruption is not a way of life.”

Worth reading this excellent piece from Ohimai Amaize @AtlanticCouncil senior editor, social media strategy and audience engagement outlining lessons for Africa from his impressive sports background in Nigeria #AfricasTimeHasCome

Good to attend the Sudan event at UNGA High-level week. The Sudanese people deserve a humanitarian truce that facilitates Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue. Neither the SAF nor RSF represent legitimate, constitutional governance for Sudan. We need to expand the UN arms embargo and raise the cost of conflict on all combatants.

✈️ @ACAfricaCenter’s @TBonsundyOBryan says more than 70% of bilateral aviation agreements between African countries are restrictive:
As a result, less than 20% of Africa’s air traffic is between destinations on the continent, compared with 60% in Europe, he tells @AubreyHruby.

⏰Using planes to travel to Africa?Tomorrow 9amET join @ACAfricaCenter and @PolicyCenterNS to understand why Africa remains the world’s most expensive, least connected and most underserved aviation market.And hear about success stories from Ethiopian Airlines to Adebayo Ogunlesi!
Expanded air transport in Africa could be a powerful multiplier of growth, underpin regional trade, and fuel skilled job creation.
In case you missed it, read our and @PolicyCenterNS's new brief:
Opening Africa’s skies to trade, growth, and jobs
Bottom lines up front:
➡️Africa is home to just 2 percent of global air traffic; flights within the continent are notoriously expensive, with limited routes between major markets.
➡️African governments have the power to lower costs and connect countries that remain cut off from each other.
➡️Aviation reform is one of the highest-return, lowest-cost interventions to drive trade, growth, and jobs in Africa.
