THE World Economic Forum (WEF), a network of Global Agenda Councils, has appointed former Minister of Information, Mr. Frank Nweke (Jnr) as a member of the Global Agenda Council on Africa for 2014-2016.
The appointment is contained in a letter dated June 3rd by the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Forum, Klaus Schwab, in which he described Nweke as one of the world’s most relevant and knowledgeable thought leaders in the field.
Schwab said he believes Nweke’s expertise would be instrumental in helping the Council collaboratively develop pertinent insights and solutions to address the global challenge.
As a member, Nweke will meet with other Council Members throughout the Council term, as well as be at the Summit on the Global Agenda, the world’s largest brainstorm exclusively reserved for Global Agenda Council Members.
Nweke is expected to submit his views on what world leaders should watch out for and think about for 2015. His contribution will form the basis of the Global Agenda Outlook, one of the World Economic Forum’s flagship publications.
The focus of the Global Agenda Council on Africa in 2014-2016 when Nweke will be a council member will be to provide thought leadership on creating public-private cooperation framework for fast-tracking economic transformation and inclusive growth in Africa.
