Afreximbank President and Chairman of Board, Professor Benedict Oramah, has been awarded Forbes Person of The Year in recognition of his numerous contributions to African Development. This award is coming on the heels of Oramah’s epic performance at the third IATF in Cairo. The bank has been largely considered as many things for the African economy. His Intra-African Trade Initiative, which is driven by Kanayo Awani, has been considered the biggest innovation by any development finance institution in the world. Oramah has really demonstrated very sharp leadership qualities now considered quite innovative. When MONEYREPORT MAGAZINE met him in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2000 during the World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings as a medium manager his seeming leadership qualities were not in doubt.
