For Aliko Dangote mind, the idea say millions of Africans get the means to build wealth through farming na something wey dey very near im heart.

For the 23rd Doha Forum wey hold from December 6 to 7 for Qatar capital, Africa richest man tell big gathering say if people change how dem see farming — from only something wey dey help people wey poor to real economic opportunity — e fit change how people dey live for the whole continent.

The message join well with the theme "Justice in Action: Beyond Promises to Progress", wey gather Presidents wey dey deal with post-conflict reconstruction, education advocates wey dey document school attacks, and business leaders wey dey push make investment go where e matter pass.

The meeting wey Qatar Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani host last two days for the Sheraton Grand Doha gather pass 5,000 participants from pass 160 countries.

But na the African side of things — from how to change agriculture to how to run schools for conflict zones — make the forum dey push for wetin go bring results, no be only diplomatic talk.

African solutions

President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana and Syria leader Ahmed al Sharaa na among the leaders wey discuss with Qatari authorities and delegates from different parts of the world about crises wey connect one another.

The talks cover politics, environment and social challenges, and development for Africa dey always for the front line.

Dangote make serious case say make dem increase investment for key sectors for Africa, especially for agriculture.

"For long time, many people believe say agriculture na only for poor people. That one no true at all. Na why we want give millions of people the means to better their living condition and create wealth through agriculture," he talk.

Education under attack

Delegates still focus on the problem to make sure people get access to education for some areas, including parts of Africa, because many schools no get enough money or dem dey face attacks from militia for countries like Nigeria.

Dr Maleiha Malik, executive director of the Protect Education in Insecurity and Conflict (PEIC) programme at the Education Above All Foundation, outline some immediate priorities.

"Conflicts na priority for our agenda," she talk, mention the situation for the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Mali.

"Like how we don see recent attacks on girls' schools for Nigeria, these kind disruptions still too high. We want make this threat reduce reach zero, and we dey take action to achieve am."

Dr Malik also point out say poverty dey always at the centre of any education crisis.

"E no possible for pikin to learn well when dem hungry or when dem gats waka many miles to reach school," she talk. "We don start projects with the African Union wey follow approach wey include ideas wey come from the beneficiaries dem self."

Partnership and action

Turkey's foreign affairs minister Hakan Fidan confirm Ankara commitment to conflict resolution and remind the world say to bring back peace and small normalcy for places like Gaza and South Sudan need ongoing diplomatic engagement.

The way Fidan talk set the tone for the forum recommendation say make people do more than just recognise the mix of crises — political, social, humanitarian and those linked to climate — wey dey affect parts of the world.

Now the emphasis dey shift to how to protect and improve lives with policies wey go move beyond mere talk, especially for areas wey dey suffer from many emergencies at once.
