On Monday, April 20, the American University of Nigeria will host Ike Chioke of Afrinvest West Africa Ltd. The Managing Director of Afrinvest West Africa, headquartered in Lagos, will lead an interactive session involving students, faculty, and staff regarding proposed new policies outlined by in-coming Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
The University plans to share the outcome of the review session with representatives of the new government. AUN President Margee Ensign, announcing the proposed talk in Yola, described it as “a wonderful opportunity to have some input on new policies and programs.”
The main working document for the talk will be “Roadmap to a New Nigeria,” the manifesto of the All Progressives Congress, the new coalition party which swept the most recent national elections in Nigeria.
With investment banking experience spanning 22 years, Mr. Chioke–who holds a B.Sc. Civil Engineering (First Class Honors) from the University of Ife, and an MPhil in Management Studies from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar–will bring his deep knowledge of the workings of the Nigerian economy to an analysis of policy alternatives and the challenges facing Nigeria’s new President.
