Global & African Engagement
Local Roots, Global Competence: Thinking Beyond Borders
In an increasingly interconnected world, sub-national states cannot thrive with parochial, inward-looking leadership. Economic development requires leaders who can effortlessly navigate the boardrooms of London and Dubai, understand the regulatory dynamics of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and negotiate high-stakes technology transfers with global manufacturers.
Abdulrahman Bashir Haske brings this vital international outlook. Having trained at Manchester Business School and worked across complex commercial supply chains, he sees Adamawa not as an isolated landlocked territory, but as the gateway of Nigeria to Central Africa.
By connecting local grain farmers directly to regional export markets and attracting clean energy capital from overseas partners, Haske is redefining what regional governance and enterprise can achieve.
“The world will not come to us simply because we have potential; capital goes where it is welcomed, respected, and protected by transparent rule of law. We must build institutions that command global confidence.”
