Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has called for greater African representation in global governance systems, stressing that international institutions must evolve to reflect contemporary realities and maintain legitimacy in a rapidly changing world. Delivering the keynote address at the Oxford Africa Conference 2026 at the University of Oxford, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said the continued exclusion of Africa from major global decision-making structures, particularly the United Nations Security Council, has created an imbalance between global power and the institutions through which that power is exercised. “If institutions and indeed democracy are to remain legitimate, they must remain responsive to contemporary realities,” the Vice President stated. “For many African states, the continued absence of meaningful African representation within key global decision structures, particularly the
