Lost for words. Heartbroken. Devastated.
Thank you, Amooti, for the friendship, the love, the laughter and memories we created; for the dreams we shared, the journeys we walked and the legacy we built together.
H.E. @AgathaEngadu and I were privileged to share a very special chapter of our lives with you. For a decade, we served beside you, believed in your vision and watched the young King we knew grow into a remarkable leader, humble, gracious, ambitious for his people and deeply proud of Tooro, Uganda and Africa.
But beyond the Crown, we knew Oyo, our friend. That is the loss we are struggling to comprehend today.
There was still so much to do, so many dreams to fulfil, so many conversations yet to have. We were simply not ready to say goodbye.
Our hearts are with the Queen Mother, the Royal Family and the entire people of Tooro whom you loved and served.
In our tradition, Kings do not die; they journey to the village of the ancestors. Today, Amooti, you have gone to the King of Kings. May He receive you with the same grace, humility and love with which you touched so many lives.
Farewell, Amooti. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for allowing us to walk part of this extraordinary journey with you.
The memories remain. The dreams live on. Your legacy endures.
Rest in eternal peace, Your Majesty.
Omukama Atulize. Enkuba Etutire. 🖤
As Secretary General of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG), H.E. Moses Micheal Engadu is at the centre of the continental dialogue shaping Africa's critical minerals future. The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa continues this evolving agenda; bringing together political leaders, ministers, investors, development finance institutions, industry leaders and strategic partners around a shared continental vision.
Under the theme:
FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH

Mineral Value Addition
Data Sovereignty
Innovative Financing
Critical Minerals Security
The ambition is clear:
Africa must move from being a source of critical minerals to becoming a strategic partner in the global critical-minerals economy.

The Secretary-General of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group, H.E. Moses Micheal Engadu, delivered a powerful message about the choices confronting Africa's critical minerals future during AFNIS 2026.
Drawing on the image of the African baobab, he described a continent whose visible strength is sustained by the connections beneath the surface.
Africa's mineral wealth is immense. But, as the Secretary-General emphasized, no single African country possesses everything required for industrial transformation.
Collectively, however, Africa possesses the resources, people, markets and strategic potential to become one of the defining economic powers of the 21st century.
This is the thinking behind the Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, taking place on 21 September 2026 in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

The challenge is therefore not simply to extract more. It is to: Build industries, not merely export resources. Export value, not merely raw materials. Shape global supply chains, not merely participate in them. Direct investment towards Africa's long-term development priorities. And ultimately: Transform Africa's resource wealth into shared prosperity.

Africa's critical minerals future requires strong political leadership, continental coordination, and a clear commitment to turning mineral wealth into sustainable economic value.
The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa will be convened with the leadership of Dr. Oladele Alake, OON, Minister of Solid Minerals Development of Nigeria and Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG).
As Africa navigates a rapidly changing global critical minerals landscape, the strategic conversation must move beyond extraction to address value addition, investment, data sovereignty, industrialisation and resilient critical-minerals supply chains.
Under the theme:
FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH
the Roundtable will bring together high-level African political leadership, development finance institutions, investors, industry leaders and strategic partners to advance a shared continental agenda for critical minerals development.
The ambition is clear:
To build value.
To deepen cooperation.
To attract strategic investment.
And to ensure that Africa captures a greater share of the value generated from its mineral resources.

Three years. One evolving continental agenda.
The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa will be convened by His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Roundtable Chair.
Taking place on 21 September 2026 in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, the Roundtable will bring together African political leadership, investors, development finance institutions, industry leaders and strategic partners to advance a shared continental agenda for critical minerals development.
Under the theme:
FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH
the high-level dialogue will focus on four strategic priorities:
Mineral Value Addition | Data Sovereignty | Innovative Financing | Critical Minerals Security
At a time when critical minerals are increasingly central to economic security, industrial competitiveness, advanced technologies and resilient global supply chains, the strategic imperative is to capture more value, build competitive industries and transform Africa's mineral wealth into sustainable economic prosperity.
Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ and his Gospel, to enter more deeply into his message and to renew the choices we make in our lives, so that they may be consistent with what we profess. In this way, we can overcome the temptation to think that we already know everything and to reduce faith to mere habit. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 16:13-20)
The 3rd AMSG High-Level Roundtable represents an important transition in Africa's minerals agenda. Meet the voices leading the strategy.

Critical minerals are no longer just about mining. They are about the future.
From artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to the energy transition, critical minerals are becoming increasingly central to economic security, industrial competitiveness and the resilience of global supply chains.
The question for Africa is therefore bigger than how much we extract.
It is:
How do we turn our mineral endowment into strategic economic power?
Africa has many of the resources the world needs for its next technological and industrial era, and the opportunity now is to ensure that Africa captures more of the value.
This is at the heart of the Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, convening on 21 September 2026 in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

From the Canaanite woman we learn humility and determination. Thanks to her faith, we learn that God’s table is set for everyone and that no one is left merely with crumbs, because each person has his or her own place with the Father. In the light of this faith, inequalities, discrimination and barriers that trample on the dignity of too many of God’s sons and daughters become unbearable. #GospelOfToday (Mt 15: 21-28)
Your prayers….
Have reached the ears of God.
Psalm 65:2
Don’t stop praying!
Something BIG is getting ready to break forth!
You will come telling all…
that God has done for you.
And you will forever know…
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.
James 5:16b
This next season will be BLESSED - life more abundantly, healthy and whole, restored and rich in faith and abundance. Overflowing and favored by God - with NO LIMITS in Jesus’ name!

THE ROAD TO 21 SEPTEMBER
The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable is being positioned as a defining moment in Africa's critical minerals agenda.
In New York, African political leaders, policymakers, financial institutions, investors and industry leaders will come together around a common question:
How can Africa use its extraordinary mineral endowment to build stronger economies, competitive industries and lasting prosperity?
The answer will require more than resources.
It will require cooperation, capital, infrastructure, technology, policy certainty and continental leadership.
That is the opportunity before Africa.

How do we move Africa’s critical minerals sector from fragmented extraction to integrated continental prosperity? It starts with a new strategic architecture.
The Africa Minerals Strategy Group brings African states, strategic partners and industrial operators together to form mutual economic cooperation. No more isolated projects, just shared growth across Development, Policy, & Financial and Economic Assurance.
On September 21, 2026, during #UNGA81 in New York, the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) is convening its 3rd High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa to turn this strategy into a reality.
The future of African resources is built on cooperation, integration, and local value retention.

For generations, Africa’s rich mineral endowment has been bottlenecked by uncoordinated national policies, isolated extraction, and a lack of integrated regional infrastructure. To unlock true prosperity, we must move past competition and build true economic interdependence.
This year, the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) Roundtable, chaired by His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is operationalizing a new paradigm: the Mutual Assured Development (MADE) Framework. To enhance cooperation across three pillars: Development Assurance, Policy Assurance, & Financial and Economic Assurance.
On September 21, 2026, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, AMSG will host its 3rd High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development.
The era of raw extraction without localized value retention is ending. Join us as we build the structural architecture for Africa’s industrial future.
