Get ready, Lagos — the countdown is ON! Africa’s most electric city is about to host one of the most star-studded, high-powered events of 2025 — the Global Excellence Summit & Awards (GESA) is coming to town!
Set to light up the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island on May 23rd and 24th, this international blockbuster of diplomacy, innovation, and leadership is pulling out all the stops.
Diplomats! Senators! Global movers and shakers! They’re all heading to Lagos for an unforgettable two-day spectacle that will shine a spotlight on Africa’s potential and global clout.
Spearheading the summit is the powerhouse herself, Amb. Dr. Fatoumatta Gaye, who called GESA 2025 “a celebration of excellence” and a golden opportunity for leaders to connect, collaborate, and catapult Africa onto the world stage.
“It’s about progress, partnerships, and power moves,” she declared — and with names like these on the guest list, she’s not kidding:
Senator Adeyemi Raphael Adaramodu – Senate Spokesperson and Youth Engagement Boss
Senator Prince Ned Nwoko – Delta North’s political dynamo
Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha – Minister of State for Labour & Employment
Justice Mainasara Ibrahim Kogo Umar – The man behind the Code of Conduct Tribunal
H.E. George Muhali Imbuwa – Zambia’s top envoy in Nigeria
H.E. Mohamadou Musa Njie – Gambia’s diplomatic frontliner in Abuja
And that’s just scratching the surface.
Backed by heavyweights like the African Union Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Assembly, UNIPGC AFRICA, and the Nigeria-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Inc., GESA 2025 is setting the bar sky-high.
The theme? “Global Excellence in Diplomacy & Leadership: Africa’s Path to Prosperity.” Bold. Ambitious. And absolutely necessary.
Lagos, already known for its energy and entrepreneurial spirit, is fast becoming Africa’s go-to destination for global summits and elite gatherings. GESA 2025 is more than an event — it’s a movement.
Mark your calendars. Shine your shoes. The world is coming to Lagos — and it’s going to be legendary.
