"Africa can take full advantage of the global complexities we see today and indeed thrive in the face of the uncertainties and disruption through knowledgeable leadership which is committed to good governance." 
 
This was the submission of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN at a public lecture delivered at King’s College, London entitled "Africa Can Prosper in an Increasingly Complex World".
 
Indeed, Prof. Osinbajo stated that if he was asked what would determine Africa's ability to turn the problems and complexities of the continent and our world around for good, "I will say knowledgeable leadership committed to good governance."
 
The Vice President spoke to a large audience comprising academics, scholars, researchers, faculty and students of the Africa Leadership Centre (ALC) in a packed lecture hall at the prestigious King’s College. His audience included Professor Rachel Mills, the College's Senior Vice President (Academics); Professor Funmi Olonisakin, Vice President (International Engagement & Service), who moderated a Question and Answer session after the lecture, and Professor Abiodun Alao, a notable Professor of African Studies based in the College. 
 
Also accompanying the VP to the public lecture were senior government officials led by Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola.
 
The VP's lecture detailed and interpreted issues such as the climate change crisis, the Russian-Ukrainian war, terrorism etc, and noted that in today's world "we live in complex and somewhat confusing times. The lines have never been more blurred in the various conceptual prisms through which we view the world."
