Economic sovereignty: Pan-Africanism, not xenophobia, is what Africa needs - SOAD

Ebube Ebisike George, the State of the African Diaspora (SOAD) Minister of Trade, asserts that Pan-Africanism, not xenophobia, is the key to unlocking Africa's economic sovereignty. George, a Nigerian national, possesses a diverse resume encompassing diplomacy, entrepreneurship, and aspirations of space exploration.

At his core, George is dedicated to advancing trade, energy, and human capital development across the African continent and beyond. He is particularly vocal against policies in South Africa that he believes impede broader African economic cooperation and integration.

His perspective emphasizes that true economic independence for Africa lies in fostering continental unity and collaboration. This approach, he argues, is more constructive than inward-looking or protectionist measures that can lead to xenophobia and hinder collective progress. George's advocacy highlights a vision for a more interconnected and economically empowered Africa.
