Goge Africa, a leading platform for cultural storytelling and tourism, has unveiled a new series focused on cultural diplomacy. The inaugural event is scheduled for July 2, 2026, at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) located in Victoria Island, Lagos.
This initiative, a collaboration between Goge Africa, the NIIA, and the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC), aims to transform how African heritage is viewed. Organizers intend to highlight culture as a vital tool for modern diplomacy, regional integration, and financial development.
The event, titled “Eyo, Culture & Soft Power: Driving Diplomacy, Integration and Economic Growth,” seeks to move past standard discussions. It invites a diverse group of stakeholders, including policymakers, business executives, and artists, to analyze how cultural assets can foster global influence and economic gain.
Ambassador Isaac-Moses, CEO and co-founder of Goge Africa, emphasized that culture represents the continent’s primary advantage in shaping identity and capturing international interest. He stated that the platform is shifting from storytelling to strategic implementation, creating a space where tradition aligns with economic opportunity. By partnering with organizations like the NIIA and CBAAC, the project aims to influence future policies and encourage cross-border collaboration. Interested participants are encouraged to register through the official Goge Africa website.
