He pioneered major transformations in the agricultural field, including expanding food production by introducing high yielding technologies, designing and implementing policies to support farmers’ access to technologies at scale, increasing the availability of credit for millions of smallholder farmers, attracting private investments for the agricultural sector, rooting out corrupt elements in the fertilizer industry, and assisting in the establishment of major agricultural policies for Africa’s green revolution.
Based upon his beliefs, he has made “using agriculture to create wealth” his core value. He has also been in the forefront of spearheading Good Governance for Africa, and ensuring inclusive growth for Africa’s economy.
Passionately driven to end poverty in Africa, he pursues this mission by building strategic alliances and partnerships across the world, between governments, private sector and civil society, with a determination to make Africa a “place of wealth” and not “a museum for poverty”. He is mobilizing billions of dollars to make Africa a “land of investment” and not a land that needs “aid”.
