The upcoming investiture of Dr. George Elombi as the 4th President of Afreximbank marks a historic moment for investment in Africa and the future of intra-Africa trade benefits. Scheduled for October 24 and 25, 2025, the high-profile event will be broadcast in full by Africa24 Group (https://Africa24TV.com), which has now been officially rebranded as Afreximbank TV for the occasion.
A Strategic Milestone for Pan-African Growth
This two-day ceremony represents more than a change in leadership—it’s a strategic platform to honor outgoing President Professor Benedict Oramah’s legacy and chart a forward-looking vision with Dr. Elombi at the helm. His presidency is set to further strengthen intra-Africa trade benefits, promote regional economic integration, and amplify Africa’s role in global trade.
Held under the theme “A Decade to Build the Pillars of Future Prosperity,” the first day (October 24) will feature a series of high-level conferences reflecting on Afreximbank’s achievements under Oramah’s leadership.
The main event on October 25 includes Dr. Elombi’s official swearing-in, where he will outline his ambitions for the future of investment in Africa and sustainable development. Attendees will include heads of state, ministers, global business leaders, institutional investors, and shareholders.

Meet Dr. George Elombi: A Champion for Regional Trade
Dr. George Elombi brings nearly three decades of experience in law and trade finance to the presidency. A scholar and former law lecturer in the UK, he joined Afreximbank in 1996 and rose through the ranks to serve as Executive Vice President. His focus is squarely on intra-Africa trade benefits, regional cooperation, and youth- and women-led entrepreneurship.
With his deep understanding of African legal and financial frameworks, Dr. Elombi is expected to lead Afreximbank into a transformative era of leadership in trade financing, digital innovation, and green economic development.
