The acknowledgment came shortly after Dr. Musokotwane received the prestigious Foreign Investment Network (FIN) Best of Africa Outstanding Award. The award recognizes his significant contributions to the debt restructuring process and the country’s economic growth.
In a joint letter addressed to the Minister of Finance, FIN Group Chairperson Olayinka Fayomi and FIN USA President Dr. Alex ITkIN lauded Dr. Musokotwane as a prominent global leader.
