Fellow Africans on the Continent and in the Diaspora
Our Friends and Partners across the world

On this, the fifty-second occasion of us marking the birth of our beloved continental body I have the singular honour to wish all of you a happy and fulfilling Africa Day.This year’s celebration comes at the time when the African Union is celebrating 13 years since its transformation from the Organization of African Unity. We have indeed transformed the organisation from one pursuing the struggle to liberate the continent and safeguard the independence of African States to one, that facilitates efforts to work for a united, prosperous and peaceful Africa.
