“The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart.” - Dr Kwame Nkrumah

His words continue to remind us of the strength in our shared identity, purpose and collective responsibility as Africans.

And as Dode Seidu, founder of Africa Trade Academy, puts it:
“It always takes one man... Will you be that one man from your generation?”

The question is not only about leadership. It is about what each generation chooses to do with the opportunity it has been given.

Happy Founder’s Day from Africa Trade Academy. 🇬🇭

On 20 August 2026, Mr. Dode Seidu, Founder of the Africa Trade Academy, delivered the keynote address at Roundtable session on China’s zero-Tariff Policy for Africa and its implications for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) organized by CEIBS Africa-China Centre for Policy and Advisory. His address examined the opportunities presented by China’s policy, as well as the risks, challenges and strategic measures required for African countries to benefit fully from the initiative.

Mr. Seidu emphasized the importance of linking China’s zero-tariff policy to the AfCFTA, particularly because the AfCFTA is intended to support the development of a unified African trade policy. He noted that Africa should begin considering how its future trade relationship with China could be integrated into the broader continental trade framework.
