Cindy McCain’s commitment to humanitarian work is truly inspiring.
An immense pleasure to host her and the World Food Programme delegation again – this time in Nigeria, convening public and private sector leaders.
Two weeks ago in New York, on the sidelines of #UNGA79, we united key stakeholders to address global food insecurity and the role of youth entrepreneurship in addressing Africa’s challenges. We continued to concretize partnerships that will provide tools to empower more young Africans to build resilience on our continent, through entrepreneurship and tackle hunger.
We live in a world where too many don’t know where their next meal will come from. Through the Tony Elumelu Foundation, we have empowered 5,400 agribusiness entrepreneurs, who are creating jobs, empowering others and contributing to the prosperity of their communities.
I look forward to collaborating further with World Food Programme and other partners to leverage the strengths of the Tony Elumelu Foundation to catalyse change. Together, we can give hope to our young, restore dignity, create a lasting impact and leave the world a better place for future generations.
