The African School of Governance (ASG), in partnership with the PLO Lumumba Foundation, is set to host two pivotal events in Nairobi aimed at reimagining governance in Africa.
These gatherings come at a time when the continent is seeking innovative leadership solutions to address ongoing governance challenges and development gaps.
Transformative Governance Summit: ‘From Riddle to Roadmap’
On Thursday, May 30, 2025, the JW Marriott Hotel in Westlands, Nairobi, will be the venue for a landmark event themed, “Solving the Governance Conundrum in Africa – From Riddle to Roadmap.”
The summit will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and promises to be a cornerstone in the African discourse on transformative leadership.
The summit brings together top-tier governance experts, including:
Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, Inaugural President of ASG and a globally respected political economist;
Prof. PLO Lumumba, renowned legal scholar and anti-corruption crusader;
Mrs. Betty Kaari Murungi, a societal transformation expert;
Moderated by Dr. Alexander Ezenagu, a leading authority in developmental governance.
The summit will address Africa’s most persistent governance challenges while outlining pragmatic, visionary pathways for sustainable reform.

A day before the summit, on Wednesday, May 29, 2025, ASG will host a high-level cocktail reception at the same venue from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The reception is a part of ASG’s ongoing Africa Tour and will be hosted by Professor Kingsley Moghalu. This exclusive evening offers policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and civil society actors an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and build strategic networks.
