It is founded by young Italian scientists and scholars. In their list titled "The LSDP Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013", the organisation said it listed Governor Fashola "because he made Lagos an African hub of innovation, launching the Lagos Innovation Advisory Council, with the help of the Harvard Kennedy School".
The organisation, which named Pope Francis as number one "because he reminded the world that the Catholic Church is a Global Power", and the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, as 31 on its list "because 2013, for better and for worse, has been the year of Abenomics", said its list was an opportunity to identify some of the trends in global politics, science and other aspects of life for any particular year.
