I was honored to yesterday deliver the keynote address at the Opening Ceremony of the Green and Resilient Urban Shift Africa Forum 2025 held at the United Nations Office in Nairobi. Urban Shift has convened leaders from cities and national governments from across the continent to collectively discuss the role of urban planning amidst rapid urbanisation and climate breakdown.
Encouraging all leaders at the forum to play their individual roles in shaping the future we want, I shared a quote from singer/songwriter Jay-Z “the question isn’t who is going to let me, it’s who is going to stop me!”
As I return to Freetown today, I extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to my dear friend and brother Governor of Nairobi H. E. Sakaja Johnson, for his warm welcome and hospitality.
