Office of the Continental President desk
Welcome to the Great Minds Empire Africa's World.
Let me first seize this opportunity to welcome you and to celebrate you for being part of this great initiative in building THE AFRICA WE WANT. GME Africa recognizes and appreciates your sacrifice.
No doubt, this time is a historic moment for us and represents the beginning of our new era in our collective resolve & self determination to making Africa Great Again in line with the ‘Agenda 2063’ and the SDG which has become our collective aspiration & yearning for the ‘Africa We Want’.
As a Pan Africa and a crossed- border youth engagement platform, GME Africa believes this ‘Agenda 2063’ and the SDG goals truly embodies the hope & aspiration of every African especially the youths and holds the keys to change our financial & economic narratives.
To truly realise the Africa we all want, it is incumbent on us all that we summon the necessary audacity and courage that is required to challenge ourselves to live up to the true meaning of the Agenda and that is the journey that began today & and the time is now! GME Africa in line with the AU Agenda and UN goals therefore calls on the African Union and UN today to devise and explore innovative, sustainable and alternative model to finding practical solution to the problem we all face today.
Why we need you.
