President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to take part in the first International Forum for Innovation and Development, an event bringing together global leaders, investors and technology experts.
The forum, hosted under the patronage of Gabon’s president, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, is focused on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
Organisers say the gathering aims to position Gabon as a regional hub for innovation and a key destination for international investment.
The event is also being held to inaugurate the newly built Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which will serve as a venue for international dialogue.
The forum is expected to conclude with the adoption of the “Libreville Declaration,” outlining commitments by political leaders to strengthen governance, transparency and digital integration across Africa.
President Mahama has consistently advocated closer collaboration between governments and the private sector to promote inclusive development.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, spokesperson to the president and Minister for Government Communications, confirmed his participation.
