Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Lagos State Governor Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina, are among the key personalities expected to speak at the 2025 edition of the AgriConnect Summit. The summit seeks to bridge generational gaps in Africa’s agricultural value chain.

The organisers said the summit, the second in the series and scheduled in Lagos, will bring together thought leaders, policymakers, and trailblazers from across the continent’s agricultural landscape.

According to the organisers, the high-profile gathering aims to address Africa’s urgent food security challenges through a multi-generational approach that harnesses collaboration, innovation, and the active participation of the youth.

The organisers also disclosed that the summit, with the theme “Bridging the Generational Divide: Tactics and Strategies for Building Future Agripreneurs,” will focus on equipping young Africans with the tools and knowledge required to drive a sustainable and transformative agricultural future. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, will chair the event. Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, a renowned development economist and vocal proponent of youth-inclusive agricultural policies, will deliver the keynote address.

Other dignitaries expected at the event include the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China, Yan Yuqing; the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Gautier Mignot; and the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In a bold demonstration of its commitment to sustainable agricultural development, Lorien

Works, organisers of The AgriConnect Summit, will host a free two-day workshop and training programme from May 28–29, 2025, designed exclusively for aspiring agripreneurs.

She said, “Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their agribusiness ideas to a panel of industry leaders for a chance to win grants and cash prizes of up to $5,000, along with mentorship opportunities to help them scale their ventures. In addition, a special AgriTech Hackathon will bring together developers, engineers, and problem-solvers to create innovative, tech-based solutions to challenges in agriculture. The most promising projects will be recognised and rewarded at the main summit on May 30.”

Co-organised by Managing Partner at Lorien Works and CEO of Siella Red Media & Tech, Dr. Toyosi Obasanjo, and Temire Bob-Egbe, Founding Partner at Lorien Works, The AgriConnect Summit 2025 is designed as a platform where public and private sectors, youth and experience, technology and tradition, come together to reimagine Africa’s agricultural future.

“Innovation rarely happens in isolation,” said Dr. Toyosi Obasanjo. “Our goal is to connect.

We need people, ideas, and industries to tackle agriculture’s biggest challenges and unlock its greatest opportunities. We’re creating a space where future agripreneurs are not only inspired but supported—through access to funding, mentorship, and a vibrant community,” adds Temire Bob-Egbe.
