Jose Maria Neves Doctor Honoris Causa

José Maria Neves, Prime Minister of Cape Verde, recognized as one of Africa’s foremost leaders, will be receiving an honorary doctor of law degree from the University of Rhode Island in recognition for his excellent performance as the archipelago’s leader, and specifically, his role in promoting education through important partnerships between the University of Cape Verde and other institutions worldwide. Rhode Island University’s publication also praises the Prime Minister for his anti-crises measures which have minimized Cape Verde’s vulnerability to the world economic downturn, thereby fostering international credibility which enables foreign investment, largely in the tourism sector and second home real estate, to continue its growth trajectory.
