Dr. Armstrong Takang and Prof. Latif Ladid will headline the 13th Digital Africa Conference and Exhibition (DACE), scheduled for October 28 and 29, 2025, in Abuja, where Africa’s digital sovereignty in the age of Artificial Intelligence will take centre stage.
Dr. Takang, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI), will deliver the opening keynote on Day one, examining how digital sovereignty aligns with Africa’s economic reforms and governance strategies. A former Special Adviser to the Minister of Finance, he contributed to key initiatives such as the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and the Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS).
On Day two, Prof. Ladid, Founder and President of the IPv6 Forum and Chair of the AI & Blockchain Global Forum, will address how Africa can secure its data, assert independence in emerging technologies, and play a role in shaping global AI standards.
“This year’s theme, ‘Sovereign Intelligence: Africa’s Voice in the Global Digital Order,’ isn’t just a concept, it’s a necessity,” said Dr. Evans Woherem, Chairman of Digital Africa Consult.
The two-day event will feature policy dialogues, workshops, and exhibitions of African-developed digital tools in health, agriculture, finance, and education. Organizers say it will produce a roadmap to strengthen Africa’s digital independence, with delegates expected from across the continent and beyond.
