First held in 1991, the biennial summit is designed to build a bridge between America and Africa especially between the people of the African continent and their brothers and sisters in America - the African-Americans.

Over the years the Summit has come to represent the largest forum for exchange of ideas in promoting African-African-American co-operation, exploring African problems and facilitating the return to mother Africa of our African-American brothers and sisters.

This year's Summit with the theme - "Africa - a continent of possibilities" is expected to be a momentous and historic gathering of Africans, African-Americans and friends of Africa and is expected to be addressed by President George Bush of the United States who will be visiting Abuja, Nigeria during the Summit.
