Tony Blair, Former UK Prime Minister

Tony Blair meets Akufo-Addo today
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is scheduled
to interact with Ghana’s President Nana
Akufo-Addo this afternoon on a wide range of
issues.

Mr Blair is in Ghana to deliver a lecturer on:
‘Governance and Development in Africa’ on the
invitation of the Institute of Economic Affairs
(IEA).

Mr Blair served as Prime Minister of the UK for
ten years. As Prime Minister, he made Africa a top
priority by putting the continent on the G8 Agenda
for the first time at the Gleneagles Summit in
2005.

He also led the negotiations that subsequently
doubled aid to Africa and dropped the debt for its
poorest countries.

Since leaving office, he has maintained his
commitment to Africa by setting up the Africa
Governance Initiative (AGI) to primarily work with
African leaders to support effective government
across the continent.

AGI strongly affirms that achieving effective
government will drastically change the lives of
African citizens.
