President-Elect of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been announced as the keynote speaker at the 11th Edition of Africa’s biggest youth event The Future Awards Africa.

“This is a great initiative. Africa’s future lies in the hands of the empowered youth who have taken up the charge to shape it. I am looking forward to meeting my neighbours and friends, and to help echo the message of inspiration,” Nana Akufo-Addo said.

“Dr. Akufo-Addo is a man of the people, who recently emerged victorious in Ghana’s presidential election, after inspiring Ghanaians to vote for change. Before he became a politician, he used his law practice to champion the cause of human rights, rule of law, justice, freedom, and democracy.
