Over the past weekend I was received by H. E. Hailemariam Dessalegn , former Prime Minister of Ethiopia and Co-Founder ( with H.E. Paul Kagame ) of the African School of Governance – ASG , at his office in Kigali. I briefed PM Dessalegn on progress with full operationalization of the ASG in the year ahead. He gave me wise counsel and reiterated his support for my leadership of ASG.
After his time in office as PM of Ethiopia (2012-2018), the senior statesman and former Chairman of AfricanUnion has remained active in providing leadership to several international initiatives and organizations including the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), the board of which he also chairs.
The vision of the ASG Co-Founders for the university, its role and future impact is a powerful one that I fully share, and one we intend to achieve.
I was earlier received by Paul Kagame at Urugwiro village (the Office of the President of Rwanda) on 26 November.
