Akon Faces Deadline to Start Akon City Project
News summary

Akon has been formally warned by the Senegalese government to commence construction of his ambitious $6 billion Akon City project or risk losing 90% of the land allocated to him. The project, envisioned as a real-life Wakanda, includes plans for condominiums, amusement parks, and solar-powered infrastructure powered by Akoin cryptocurrency. However, progress has been minimal since its announcement in 2020, with only a single concrete block visible on the site. The state's frustration stems from missed payments and the project's stagnation, leading them to issue this ultimatum. Despite the setbacks, Akon plans to reassure stakeholders about the project's viability in the coming weeks. Critics question the project's feasibility and the lack of engagement with the local community, but Akon remains optimistic about its potential impact on economic development in the region.
