NAIROBI, Kenya – June 1,2025
The African School of Governance (ASG) has concluded a groundbreaking presidential tour across major African cities, signaling a transformative shift in how the continent prepares its future leaders. The tour, led by ASG President Professor Kingsley Moghalu, marked the formal introduction of the continent’s newest and most ambitious institution dedicated to African-centered leadership and governance education.
The multi-city tour — with stops in Nairobi, Lagos, Cairo, Maputo, and Abidjan — drew widespread attention from government leaders, policymakers, academics, development partners, and aspiring changemakers. At the Nairobi Governance Summit, Professor Moghalu made a bold statement: “The question won’t be what you studied or where. In ten years, the question will be, have you joined ASG?”
Partnering with prestigious institutions such as the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, ASG is set to offer a unique Master of Public Administration (MPA) program starting September 2025. The curriculum is designed with African realities at its core, promoting ethical, pragmatic, and transformational leadership.
“Africa’s governance challenges won’t be solved by imported frameworks,” Professor Moghalu emphasized. “We’re creating something new—designed by Africa, for Africa.”
Unlike conventional graduate schools, ASG aims to be more than an academic institution. It offers immersive training, real-world case studies, and direct engagement with public and private sector leaders—positioning itself as a launchpad for mid-career professionals between the ages of 25 and 50.
With student recruitment for the inaugural class closing in July, ASG expects to enroll 40–50 high-potential candidates. Tuition is set at $15,000 per year, with generous scholarships available to ensure pan-African accessibility.
Looking ahead, ASG plans to expand its offerings by 2027 to include programs in corporate governance and public finance. At the helm is Professor Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a globally respected voice on governance and economic transformation.
“This is the beginning of something powerful,” he said. “ASG is where the future of African governance begins.”
