American R&B singer Akon has announced that he is moving ahead with his plans to create a futuristic pan-African city worth $6 billion.
Describing his city as a real-life Wakanda, Akon, who first announced his idea of the city in 2018, said he hopes 'Akon City' project would provide much-needed jobs to the people of Senegal and the city would also serve as a 'home back home' for Black Americans and others facing racial injustices.
Construction of 'Akon City' is reported to begin in early 2021.
