Sports can be used to reshape the African brand by growing national economies, experts have said. At a monthly roundtable discussion by the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation (CEMRI), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), which focused on repositioning the African brand through sports, the experts called on governments, at all levels, to find ways to leverage different aspects of the sector to enhance national development. The roundtable discussion was hosted by a Senior Lecturer at the University of Greenwich, Dr. Emmanuel Mogaji, with panelists, including founder and CEO of Sports Connect Africa, Cynthia Mumbo; African Schools Programme Manager, Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF), Mukabana Yvonne Namai; the Chief Executive Officer at Alive and Kicking, a social enterprise in Kenya, Sheba Nyaronga; the founder of AthleticsAfrica Foundation, Yomi Omogbeja; a lecturer and programme leader, B.Sc.
