Shegun Adjadi Bakari

Olushegun (Shegun) Adjadi Bakari is a Beninese banker, entrepreneur and politician. He began his career in the banking sector in France, where he gradually moved from supporting major automotive groups to financing projects in Africa. This latter period, during which he was involved in financing several projects in Africa, reinforced his desire to return to the continent he had left for his studies.

He first returned to Togo, where he was appointed presidential advisor from 2016 to 2021. He left this position to return to Benin, where he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs on June 6, 2023, by the President of the Republic. Since then, the former banker has been in charge of the strategic orientation of Benin's diplomacy and is at the forefront of the current tensions between Benin and Niger.
