Efforts to address Africa’s challenges through policies developed within the continent have been ongoing, with the goal of shaping African leadership for sustainable progress. In September 2022, Rwanda’s President,
Paul Kagame, and former Ethiopian Prime Minister,
Hailemariam Desalegn, conceived the idea of establishing a graduate-level institution dedicated to
governance and
leadership training. Their vision led to the creation of the ASG Foundation, an advisory group comprising academics,
philanthropists, and leaders from across
Africa, to make this vision a reality. After thorough consultations, the African School of Governance Foundation (ASGF) announced the establishment of the African School of Governance (ASG) on 16 October 2024. On the same day, ASGF also appointed Professor
Kingsley Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria and former Nigerian presidential candidate, as President of the African School of Governance. In this role, he will serve as the institution’s Vice-Chancellor. == Programmes ==
