President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Gabon for first International Forum for Innovation and Development.

According to the statement issued by the President’s Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu (MP), announced that the forum is being held under the patronage of His Excellency Mr. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of the Republic of Gabon.

The event’s theme is “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”

The forum aims to position Gabon as a regional innovation hub and a prime destination for international investment.

Mr. Kwakye Ofosu noted that organizers are using the occasion to inaugurate the newly constructed Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which will serve as the forum’s venue and a future hub for international dialogue.

The event will culminate in the “Libreville Declaration,” outlining strategic commitments by political leaders to enhance governance, transparency, and digital integration across the continent.

Mr. Kwakye Ofosu also affirmed President Mahama’s commitment to advocating in fostering partnerships that bridge the gap between government policy and private-sector growth, ensuring inclusive development.
