Uzodimma to Address UK House of Lords in 2026

Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo State, is scheduled to address the UK House of Lords on July 2-3, 2026, as part of the African Leadership Organization's conference and award ceremony. The event will feature the African Inspirational Leadership Good Governance Award, which Uzodimma will receive, selected by former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete.

The ceremony will take place at the House of Lords in Westminster, London. Uzodimma is expected to share insights on the vision and leadership driving Africa's growth, particularly focusing on Imo State's transformative journey.

Dr. Ken Giami, the founder and executive chairman of the African Leadership Magazine, stated that Uzodimma's selection for the award is based on his initiatives aimed at implementing a shared prosperity agenda, which includes reconstruction, rehabilitation, and recovery efforts in Imo State. This opportunity allows Uzodimma to engage with influential public and private stakeholders, positioning him as a leading voice in transforming governance and economic resilience in Africa.
