The full list includes successful business leaders, entrepreneurs, and drivers of innovative projects on the African continent.
Among the list of Africans who are making significant impact in Africa and creating job opportunities for Africans, the name, Moses Siloko Siasia, stands out.
Thirty-two year old Moses Siloko, was not born with the kind of privileges
that guarantees a place at the top. His antecedents, while not exactly cloudy,
could hardly be described as luminous. Today however, Siasia sits atop a
multi-billion naira business empire, as Chairman of Mosilo Group, with huge
investments in Engineering, Real Estate, Oil & gas, Agro processing and
Project Management. The Group is a wholly owned indigenous Company with
strategic partnership with some of the world’s leading technical
Companies.Mosilo Group has employed a critical mass of young people and
continues to up the ante in human capacity development locally.
His passionate commitment to youths as the primary driver and
beneficiary of Africa’s economic transformation is demonstrated by his passion
for the Nigerian Young Professionals Forum, a non-governmental organization
made up primarily of young, dynamic and upwardly mobile individuals with
innovative ideas that can aid the development of Nigeria. He conceived the NYPF
as a platform for the development of young professionals in Nigeria through
quality educational programs, national and global networking and leadership
opportunities.
He is a young, enterprising and innovative Nigerian committed to
diverse value adding productive ventures in Nigeria. He has distinguished
himself as a leader of repute in his community and particularly in the Niger
Delta Region of Nigeria and has worked closely with several notable
personalities. He has provided much needed experience and skill set to take on
complex leadership roles in the society.
The Choiseul Institute for International Politics and
Geo-economics in their 2014 ranking of business leaders of tomorrow described
Siasia as a young African leader who is reshaping the continent’s economic
scene. According to Choiseul Institute, men like Siasia “embody the vigor and
renewal of an entire continent and carry the hopes of an entire generation.”
According to the Institute, the ranking is aimed at highlighting the future of
Africa, a future that is shaped through the commitment of its young and dynamic
economic elites.
On being informed of this prestigious accolade, Siasia said, “It
is a great honour to have been included in the rankings.”
