After an advanced training course in industrial audit and company financial evaluation at the ILO (International Labor Office), I began a career at UNIDO in Organization and Audit of the Oil and Oilseeds sector and in training firms. approved by the FDFP, then by the accounting and statutory audit firm UNICONSEIL where I had the heavy responsibility of leading account certification and valuation missions for companies to be privatized or restructured.
In this context, I practiced several economic sectors such as commerce, the port industry, public services and state companies, agro-industry, services, finance and banking.
On March 4, 1996, I joined the former CAA/State Debt and Deposit Management, cur- rent BNI/National Investment Bank, as a Credit Analyst then head of the Project Moni- toring and Evaluation department. at the Department of Sectoral and Social Funds.

2:- What is your vision of Pan-Africanism ?
My vision of Pan-Africanism is the cherished dream of an Africa which wants to be a single territory with a single people within it beyond cultural, ethnic, religious and territorial differences. A defrontalized mentality that focuses on a common ideal; the frantic search for solidarity among African states through concerted and equitable actions. Pan-Africanism rightly remains the driving force and the only means of emancipation, affirmation, political and cultural reappropriation of the identity of African societies and to confront subversive injunctions against equal rights for all across the world.
Finally, establish a solid, inseparable and indissoluble African diaspora, which plays the role of ambassador of Africa to other continents..
3:-Who is your favorite character in Pan-African history, and why?
My notable figure in the history of Pan-Africanism is His Excellency Kwame Nkrumah, the First President of Ghana; Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972) Ghanaian independence activist and pan-Africanist.
Indeed, Kwame Nkrumah undoubtedly remains the founding father of Pan-Africanism. Fiercely committed and radical in this unfulfilled quest to promote Pan-Africanism, he was able to forge an unshakeable bond with different political figures, ambitious to give birth and perpetuate the seeds of Pan-Africanism. Many successes marked his oh-so- delicate struggle, and he ended up stamping the collective African memory with the indelible mark of true Pan-Africanism. The writings and actions of these leaders of this first phase of the Pan-African movement continue to inspire our current struggles..
What is the objective?
H.E. Kwame Nkrumah aimed to create optimal conditions for the Africanization of the administration, the unification of Africans on the continent and the African diaspora into a global community for the elimination of colonization.
He Claims the Independence of Africa which implied that no country should remain on the sidelines of progress and freedoms by advocating the formation of a supranational identity; the United States of Africa which will allow the continent to be one of the great forces of the world. History records that the man invested in 1963 in the development of the charter of African unity although his idea of establishing a central government did not have the approval of all.
4:- With the advent of technology and investment in Africa, how do you see Africa in the 21st century?
Africa in the 21st century appears to be a continent of “new opportunity” for humanity. Without fearing the slightest denial, the advent of technology and investments in Africa have enabled it to initiate dynamics from an economic and social point of view. Technology has been a decisive factor in the implementation of strategic development plans as well as productivity. The investments made over recent decades are tangible proof of an Africa in full swing.
5:- What do you plan to do in the future for the African Diaspora State?
My vision of the future for the State of the African Diaspora, for an authentic Pan- Africanism, is scrutinized on the basis of two major ideas which are presented as follows:
– Breaking down barriers by removing entry visas between African countries, in other words; an AU similar to the EU,
– Directly interconnect all African countries by road, rail and air in order to achieve the challenge of sustainable economic, social, industrial and energy development in synergy with Africa’s natural resources, particularly the environment and the sun,
– Strengthen the capacity to combat the threat of climate change,
– Place our actions at the heart of major technological innovations aimed at accelerating the African energy transition and the transformations necessary on
the continent.
– Highlight Africa’s great potential in solar, wind, hydroelectric and other
renewable sources.
Through collective will, the State of the African diaspora has the means. I vigorously and tirelessly adhere to this work of massive and rapid industrialization of African countries through the ideals of the State of the African diaspora.
