R&B singer and mogul Akon has said that he has secured about $2 billion to start constructing a new city in Senegal.
According to the city's architect, Hussein Bakri, the population will reach 300,000 one day.
In an quote to AFP News, Akon has marketed the city directly to African-Americans saying he "ran into a lot of African-Americans that didn’t really understand their culture... So I wanted to build a city or a project like this that will give them the motivation to know that there is a home back home. "As you come in from America, or Europe or anywhere in the diaspora, and you feel like you want to visit Africa, we want Senegal to be your first stop."
