Gbajabiamila, made the meeting known on his verified Twitter handle, @FemiGbaja, on Thursday night. He tweeted, “Today, I engaged with my colleagues from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal and South Africa to discuss how African speakers can collaborate in the joint task of loosening the stranglehold of foreign debt on our economies, a precursor to hosting the 2021 Conference of African Speakers in Abuja.”

Gbajabiamila had earlier  on August 17, 2020, convened a similar meeting where it was agreed that there was an urgent need to push for debt cancellation for the continent from their multilateral and bilateral partners. The Speaker’s initiative to establish the Conference of African Speakers and Heads of Parliament, a body that will facilitate increased collaboration between speakers, heads of parliament and national assemblies across Africa, also got a boost at the meeting.
