Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams is the General Overseer of Action Chapel International Ministry
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the General Overseer of Action Chapel International Ministry, has expressed optimism that Africa will develop to a point where citizens can achieve their aspirations and prosper without travelling abroad in search of greener pastures.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values on June 3, 2026, the preacher said he envisions a continent developed through “principles that work for us,” rather than foreign models that do not reflect Africa’s unique realities.
“I have a dream that in my lifetime, Africa will be so developed by principles that work for us, not by principles that work for others, but by principles that work for us as we look at our culture and as individual sovereign countries,” he stated.

Archbishop Duncan-Williams further shared his vision of a future where “no son and no daughter of the continent of Africa will queue for visas to go to other nations for greener pastures,” emphasising the need for African youth to find opportunities and thrive within their own countries.
He added that young people across the continent should be enabled to “work and labour in our own land and our countries and achieve their dreams and goals, fulfil their desires and destiny, succeed and prosper within their own countries and their own borders.”
His comments came in the context of remarks by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, who also called on African nations to protect their cultural values and sovereignty from external influences often presented as modernisation.
