    Kaima Nwajugu

    LOGISTICS

    Kaima's background in International institutions and politics, combined with her current field of study (MSc Health and International Development), has led her to imagine ways in which Africa can become self-reliant and self-sustaining. She has always advocated for Africans being at the centre of the continent's change for the better. So she is bringing her logistics experience to the summit to ensure everyone has a space to discuss and plan for Africa's future.

    She works alongside Hanan Banda, Rana Zeidan, and Manthsie Doumbia.
