Imagine an Africa where economic growth is led by Africans for Africans, fueled by innovation and empowerment. This is the vision of McEva Temofe, a Nigerian entrepreneur and business leader committed to transforming Africa’s economic landscape.
As the founder and convener of the African Economic Global Convergence (AEGC), Temofe is at the forefront of an ambitious initiative that unites business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors to reshape the continent’s security, economic, and investment ecosystems. With the AEGC Global Summit on the horizon, the world is watching as Temofe and his team take bold steps toward Africa’s economic transformation.
Driving Africa’s Global Economic Influence
Temofe is on a mission to position Africa as a key player in the global economy. He firmly believes that the continent possesses the resources, talent, and determination to thrive but needs a collective push to drive sustainable growth.
“The time has come for Africa to take its rightful place in the global economy. We must believe in our capabilities and work together to achieve economic prosperity.”
The AEGC Global Summit, scheduled for September 22-23, 2025, at the United Nations Headquarters and World Trade Centre in New York, will be a gathering of global investors, trade partners, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from across all 54 African nations.
At the heart of this initiative is Africa’s economic renaissance—a necessary shift toward self-reliance, good governance, and strategic resource management. Temofe envisions Africans shaping their own economic destiny, rather than depending on external aid.
Changing the African Narrative
For too long, Africa’s economic potential has been overshadowed by negative perceptions and external dependencies. Temofe seeks to rewrite the narrative, urging Africans to take ownership of their development.
“We need to tell our own story, control our development, and stop relying on others. Africa’s future lies in our hands.”
AEGC’s Role in Economic Transformation
The AEGC Global Summit serves as a catalyst for this transformation, providing a platform to:
✔ Forge business partnerships and investment opportunities.
✔ Develop strategies for overcoming economic challenges.
✔ Empower African entrepreneurs to lead innovation and job creation.
Beyond the summit, the AEGC is actively driving change through initiatives that:
- Recognize and honor successful entrepreneurs to inspire emerging leaders.
- Foster mentorship programs connecting business veterans with young innovators.
- Support economic growth in agriculture, technology, education, infrastructure, and security.
A Global Vision with Local Impact
Temofe’s leadership has been recognized globally, earning him invitations to speak at the United Nations, Mastercard Foundation, and UNESCO. With extensive private-sector experience, he understands both the challenges and opportunities within Africa’s economic framework.
“I believe in Africa’s potential. With the right mindset and a collaborative approach, we can build a prosperous future.”
The AEGC Global Summit represents a pivotal moment in Africa’s economic journey. But for Temofe, it’s not just about discussions—it’s about action, commitment, and lasting impact.
With the summit approaching, all eyes are on McEva Temofe and the AEGC movement. Will this be the breakthrough moment for Africa’s economic renaissance?
One thing is certain: McEva Temofe is leading the way.
