Forbes Africa has put together a first-of-its-kind Pan-African list of the continent’s leading women, drawn from business, politics, media, science, sports and public life, who are challenging the status quo and creating a trail on terrain where there was none. These are women who are reshaping history, closing inequalities and pioneering new avenues of wealth creation and in turn, lifting others.
Some of the Nigerians who made the list include, writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Bellanaija’s Uche Pedro, Tara Fela-Durotoye, Folorunso Alakija, Ibukun Awosika, Obiageli ‘Oby’ Ezekwesili, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Olajumoke Adenowo, Arunma Oteh, Amina J. Mohammed and many others.
The media house added that they “sifted through several recognition lists, conducted our own research in coming up with new names, and short-listed nominations that came in from our editorial teams across Africa, applying our own metrics of leadership, influence, consistency, and most importantly, impact.”
