Franklin Cudjoe Only Think Tank Leader in “Top 50 Africans” List
The prestigious Paris-based, Africa-focussed,
magazine – the Africa Report – has just published
its list of the world's most influential Africans
in the August-September edition of the magazine.

IMANI's Executive Director, Franklin Cudjoe, was
the only leader of a think tank or research
institution mentioned in the report.

The editors mentioned IMANI's impact-making
commentary on various important issues that is now
being copied in countries across Africa, such as
Nigeria, where the organisation is emulated by
other research institutes.

According to the editors of the magazine, they
“reached out to their correspondents” in the
various countries of Africa “who in turn reached
out to their networks on the ground. They “called
on partner organisations and publications. The
long list stretches into several hundred worthy
candidates. Only 50 made the final cut.”

Other influential Africans recognised on the list
alongside Franklin Cudjoe are Chimamanda Adichie,
the famous novelist; Nasir El Rufai, the former
Nigerian Minister of State and good governance
campaigner; the Preacher, T.B. Joshua; James
Mwangi, the Global Head of the renowned consulting
firm, Dalberg; and Femi Otedola, the billionaire
businessman and oil tycoon.
