NAIROBI: It is a great time for Charlene Ruto, who is also Kenya’s First Daughter and Uganda’s Dr. Nixon Kitimoi after the two have been named among the 100 Most Influential Young Africans 2024. This happened at an event last Saturday in Accra, Ghana.
Charlene Ruto is is also a Youth Leader, a Member of the Dear Community that signs in KSL, Pan Africanist, farmer and above all, a great inspiration to her fellow young Africans through her philanthropy work and other engagements as a First Daughter.
On the other hand, Dr. Nixon Kitimoi is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at 1stock, and one of the youngest investors in Uganda with an investment portfolio of more than $6bn from syndicated investment funds and special purpose vehicles.
These two’s appearing on the official list of 100 Most Influential Young Africans is not by surprise, because they deserve it. They are the innovation and inspiration driving forces in their communities they come from. Nixon Kitimoi has won more than 10 awards due to his innovation.
And the most recent one being the Forty Under 40 award he got this month where other Ugandans were also nominated like Judith Heard, Oscar Kampala among others. And he is the one who got the award home safely.
