[Jean-Guy K. Afrika @afrika_jean]

➡️In a few days, Kigali will once again welcome the Africa CEO Forum, one of the continent’s most important platforms for public-private dialogue, investment, and deal-making. This year’s theme, “The Scale Imperative: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership,” speaks directly to the moment Africa is in. Fragmented success is no longer enough.

To compete globally, we must build larger markets, stronger value chains, deeper pools of capital, and companies with the ambition and capacity to operate across borders. For Rwanda, hosting the Forum reflects our ambition to serve as a gateway for investment, logistics, services, and innovation, the destination connecting global capital with African opportunity, and helping turn dialogue into action.

We look forward to welcoming business leaders, investors, policymakers, and partners from across Africa and the world to Kigali on 14–15 May.

Iconic weekend for Rwanda & sports. Sport is talent, joy, jobs, tourism, investment and global visibility. Rwanda is proud to be part of building that future for Rwandans and for Africa. Africans shine in global sport and should definitely share in its business.

In the middle of covering the NBA Playoffs, I made my way to Rwanda to support the growth of the game for girls on the continent. As the first female ambassador of the BAL, it’s truly an honor to witness our collective dream becoming reality. The future is bright — and the best is still ahead. ✊🏿

NIGERIA IMPLEMENTS 30-DAY VISA EXEMPTION FOR RWANDAN NATIONALS

Following the announcement by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, granting Rwandan Nationals a 30-day visa exemption, reciprocating similar gesture from Rwandan Government to Nigerian citizens, the Nigeria Immigration Service has completed all arrangements for the directive’s implementation.

[Alex Ponton @ponton_alex]

I definitely saw this in the last few days I spent in Kigali.

Trust = Consistency x Time

Consistency in execution
Consistency in proactiveness
Consistency in messaging
Consistency in competence

What's particularly interesting in Rwanda is that this consistency comes with a positive "sense of urgency".

Folks are looking to remove barriers and genuinely make things work with a fire I haven't yet seen in many jurisdictions.

Needless to say, I leave Rwanda hopeful.
