Prime Minister Meloni announced a massive $5 billion global campaign to transform the lives of 750 million children. Partnering with Nigeria, the initiative seeks to "place a higher value on human capital" from the very first years of schooling to ensure that young Africans aren't forced to flee their homes for opportunity elsewhere. Meloni rejected the idea of using migration for "low-cost labor," stating instead that the true path to progress is helping Africa process its own raw materials and innovate on its own soil. This educational surge, which includes a push for artificial intelligence and technical skills, aims to create a "richer and more thriving crop" of local talent, ensuring that Africa's wealth stays where it belongs: with its people.
