Press Release: E-Lite Statecraft Africa International Economic Development Conference by Otubo Victor Ogemdi

Press Release:

In September 2016, the STAND (States And Nations Development) organization embarked on an economic development research titled STATECRAFT – How Great Economies Are Made. The purpose of the research was to distill the principles applied by some previously dubbed “3^rd World” nations, who have gone on to becoming global economic giants within a span of five decades or less. Much interest was also on the long established economic powers of the world, especially on how they have sustained growth and relevance, against all odds for numerous decades.

The outcome of the research by August, 2018, was revealing and practical, that the true role of government, in economic development, is to provide strong “institutions” and a favorable “environment” that;

1. inspires the citizenry to attempt ideas and to thrive with their ingenuity
2. attracts the respect of the international community and their willingness to do business with the nation and its people

Going further on our quest, we discovered that in some nations with negligent leadership, some individuals and private organizations remained resolute to building a global brand and when this became a culture and thrived among more of the people, it was not long, private institutions became strong enough to challenge irresponsible national leadership and got their nations on track, achieving visible development. This was the birth of e-LITE.

We discovered that such nations thrived, by private individuals and organizations, building solid cultures and institutions around the five elements of Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation, Technology and Education (e-LITE).

In our capacity as an organization we have decided to annually take the e-LITE training across African nations starting with Nigeria, inspiring and training at least 1000 young individuals on practical keys to success in these 5 areas.

The e-LITE 2019 is the maiden edition of the event and will be happening at one of Africa’s fastest city in infrastructure development, Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State, on the 15^th and 16^th of March 2019.
