On October 24th and 25th, 2025, the AFRICA24 Group will provide exceptional coverage of the investiture and swearing-in ceremony of Dr. George Elombi, elected 4th President of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank).

This ceremony is a major strategic platform to honor the legacy of Professor Benedict Oramah and lay the foundations for a new era of pan-African leadership with Dr. George Elombi. The event marks a historic transition for the institution, with a review of the previous decade and an ambitious vision to accelerate intra-African trade and Africa’s prosperity.

The Investiture: A major event in two phases

● Friday October 24th: Series of thematic conferences on “A decade to build the pillars of future prosperity,” devoted to the achievements and legacy of outgoing President Benedict Oramah
● Saturday October 25th: The official investiture and swearing-in ceremony of Dr. George Elombi, who will present his vision for Afreximbank to a prestigious audience of heads of state, ministers, business leaders, institutional partners, representatives from the Caribbean, and shareholders. A press conference will conclude the ceremony.

The stakes of this event are: securing funding for intra-African trade, strengthening economic integration through the AfCFTA, stimulating international partnerships, and promoting inclusive growth based on innovation, sustainable industry, and entrepreneurship among young people and women.
