These 10 Nigerians Made It To Forbes’ 50 Most Powerful African Women In 2020

Nigerian women are destined for continental and global domination!

Women from all walks of life who are making a difference in the motherland and have been bought together under the 2020 Most Powerful African Women list by Forbes.

Forbes describes the most powerful African women list as a Pan-African unranked compilation 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.

They are reshaping history, closing inequalities and pioneering new avenues of wealth creation and in turn, lifting others with them.
