The Choiseul 100 Africa Meeting will be taking place in Marrakech (Morocco) on Thursday, November 26th 2015.

Dr. Pascal Lorot, President, Institut Choiseul, said:

"Igho Sanomi has been selected due to his exceptional professional path, his energy and his contribution to the rise of Africa as a major economical player, and we want to sincerely congratulate him.

"Capital flows to Africa thus reached 80 billion US dollars in 2014. It should rise up to 100 billion in 2015. This tremendous dynamic is linked to the emergence of a young economic leading class, well trained, with an open outlook, connected to global economic and information flows generated by globalization. Those young leaders are shaping a modern African economy, open to the world, with new opportunities flourishing everywhere these days.

"Those young leaders are carrying the future of their continent. They send a great message of hope. Africa has taken a successful start indeed; it is willing to be part of global growth and activity! This is the very reality the Choiseul 100 Africa intends to promote. As a unique ranking of young African economic leaders under forty years old and below, the study intends to highlights these women and men who build today's Africa and prepare the one of tomorrow. By honoring them, by presenting them to the world, the way Africa is perceived is changing, it's becoming more positive and more accurate to what the continent is really today: a land full of future promise for humanity's history."

Mr Sanomi, the top Choiseul 100 Africa 2015: Economic Leader for Tomorrow, said:

"I am delighted to receive this recognition for the work that I have been undertaking in Africa. And to receive this recognition, for the second year in a row, I am deeply honored.

It is humbling for me to be recognized by the Institut Choiseul, who have for years anticipated great changes, emerging opportunities and talents, to fertilize strategic thinking and discuss governance issues around the world.

I, like the other laureates who have been recognized for their contributions, take my responsibility for the advancement of Africa seriously and I will continue to work to this end."
