Dr. André Action Diakité Jackson (M'zée Fula Ngenge)
Dr. André Action Diakité Jackson is an internationally renowned economist and diamond executive, who has assumed the hefty responsibility for transforming Africa's diamond industry.
The Chairman Emeritus of Africa's largest holding company (JFPI Corporation), is now the chief of the African Diamond Council (ADC) and its African Diamond Producers Association (ADPA), the African diamond industry's 18 country governing bodies backed by Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos.
This influential figure is Africa's highest ranking diamond official to date and became the world's first diamond manufacturer of African descent shortly after opening his own full-service diamond company in 1982.
M'zée Fula Ngenge (as he is commonly called), is rapidly becoming known for his philanthropy and humanitarian work within the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Angola and Rwanda.
This outspoken powerbroker has clearly established a reputation for integrity and innovation on the international scene.
He has often shown courage by demonstrating his ability to stand up and say what many Africans are reluctant to say, publicly or privately.

Je suis très heureux de voir notre frère recevoir la reconnaissance qu'il mérite.
