Jimoh Ibrahim makes list of speakers at Cambridge Africa Business Conference

Jimoh Ibrahim, senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District and chairman/chief executive officer of Global Fleet Group has been named among keynote speakers for the upcoming Cambridge Africa Business Conference (CABC).

According to the organisers, since 2012, CABC has been the gathering place for Africa’s boldest thinkers, industry disruptors, and global power players.

“The Black Continent will be defined not by the challenges it faces, but by the ingenuity, resilience, and ambition of those shaping its future. This year’s speakers are true powerhouses; leaders who have built (and currently building) the rails the continent depends on.

“We have pulled together a group of people shaping what business from—and for—Africa will look like. Africa is at an inflection point. It’s emerging as a global hub for innovation, investment, and influence, but still facing structural barriers that limit its full potential,” the organisers said.

The conference, which will be held at the Cambridge Jude Business School on May 17, 2025, will feature global business leaders and technocrats.

They added, “This year’s theme, “Africa Tomorrow: Driving Innovation, Growth, and Global Influence,” is all about what’s next—how we push boundaries, scale solutions, and shape Africa’s role on the world stage. If you’re serious about the future of business in Africa, this is where you need to be.”
