Africa Must Prioritise Good, Corporate Governance, Says Moghalu
According to CoSPAL, the decision to invite Moghalu was informed by his track record in governance, institutional leadership, and economic transformation. In its invitation letter signed by Secretary-General Dr. Dapo Oyewole, the organization said the dialogue aims to bring together leading African and global experts with parliamentary leaders to examine pressing economic challenges.
The session will interrogate Africa’s structural economic vulnerabilities amid shifting global dynamics and explore legislative pathways to advance industrialization and safeguard the continent’s economic sovereignty.
Formed in 2020, CoSPAL is a pan-African inter-parliamentary body that provides a unified platform for legislative leaders across the continent. The organization comprises 25 member parliaments, including Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda, Morocco, and others. The Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Bagbin, currently chairs the body.
Moghalu, a respected political economist and former Nigerian presidential candidate, has built an extensive international profile spanning academia, public policy, and global governance. He served as CBN Deputy Governor between 2009 and 2014 and later held teaching and research appointments at Tufts University and the University of Oxford. He also served as the inaugural President and Vice-Chancellor of the African School of Governance in Kigali after a 17-year career with the United Nations, where he rose to the rank of Director.
He currently leads the Institute for Governance and Economic Transformation (IGET Academy), a public policy think tank offering executive education to African leaders, and Sogato Strategies, a Washington D.C.-based risk and business intelligence advisory firm.
