In modern history, generations have drawn inspiration from the fountain of knowledge and profound wisdom of Professor Chukwuma Soludo CFR, the Governor of Anambra State.
As an esteemed University of Nigeria Professor of Economics at the young age of 38 (26 years now as a professor), with national and international career as an itinerant scholar and consultant, traversing 45 countries in all the continents involving 22 international financial and development institutions, Soludo has left indelible footprints and landmarks everywhere he went.
Renowned for his exceptional performance tenure as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, where he garnered the prestigious titles of Global and African Best CBN Governor, Co-founder and founding Chairman of Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and recently in 2024, he was recognized for delivering outstanding public goods to Anambra state to be celebrated as the 2023 Best Governor on Infrastructure and Rural Development, Soludo’s return to the ‘PLATFORM NIGERIA’ is eagerly anticipated.
Soludo will once again step up to the ‘PODIUM’ to address not only the audience in attendance, but through the live broadcast multimedia channels, his message will reach all of Nigeria and the global community on the topic of ‘ Democracy and the Free Market Economy as Symbiotic Pillars of Progress’ – particularly poignant as Nigeria commemorates its 25th years of uninterrupted democracy and 64 years of Independence.
The choice of Soludo, by the event organizers, is a recognition of his ranking as a global thought leader and undoubtedly fitting.
