Sterling One Foundation and United Nations Nigeria are pleased to announce the Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS 3.0) 2024, set to occur on July 25-26 at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos. This significant event, themed “Reimagining Progress: A New Blueprint for Sustainable Growth in Africa,” aims to address Africa’s pressing developmental challenges through innovative, market-led solutions.

At the official press conference on July 9th at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, key speakers included Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation; Mohammed M. Malick Fall, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the United Nations in Nigeria; and Abubakar Sulieman, MD/CEO of Sterling Bank.

In her remarks, Olapeju Ibekwe emphasized the summit’s goals of fostering partnerships, advocating for impactful policies, and attracting investments in critical sectors such as healthcare and education. Notably, last year’s summit led to the MTN Foundation investing over 3 billion Naira in primary healthcare.

Mohammed M. Malick Fall stressed the urgency of accelerating efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, while Abubakar Sulieman highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in driving social impact across Africa.
