This week in Tangier, Morocco, I was elected President of the Forum of African Regions (FORAF). The mandate of the Forum is to accelerate socioeconomic development, deepen decentralisation and devolution, and position subnational governments as key drivers of continental integration and sustainable development.
I am grateful for the confidence reposed in me by my colleagues across the continent. This is a big responsibility, and I am glad that I will be supported by eminent leaders who have also been elected regional vice-presidents of the Forum. I congratulate their excellencies: Central Africa: Mr. Ousmanou Oumarou (Association of Regions of Cameroon); North Africa: Ms. Mbarka Bouaida (Association of Regions of Morocco); East Africa: Mr. Peter Anyang' Nyong'o (Kisumu County, Kenya); Southern Africa: Mr. Panyaza Lesufi (Gauteng Province, South Africa).
In my remarks, I called for improved synergies among African nations, including subnational governments, to deepen development and sustainable growth. History has shown that visionary leadership, strategic investment, and regional cooperation can overcome geographical barriers.
Around the world, nations have reduced the limitations imposed by geography through infrastructure, transport corridors, canals, and other forms of connectivity that link people, markets, and opportunities.
I believe strongly that Africa has the capacity to do the same. By working together, investing in connectivity, and strengthening partnerships among our cities and regions, we can create sustainable linkages that support trade, innovation, environmental stewardship, and inclusive growth.
Tangier and Cape Town should not merely be seen as distant points on a map, but as anchors of a connected African future. This vision is achievable if we act collectively and embrace the spirit of cooperation that the Forum represents.

In a major move to bridge the digital divide in local administration,
Every new day is a reminder of God's faithfulness, and every milestone is a testament to His goodness.
Thank You for bringing me this far. With a grateful heart, I step into this new chapter, trusting that the best is yet to come.
