SEPTEMBER 2020 EDITION

Description

We welcome you to another interesting insightful edition of Business Review Afrika Magazine. We acknowledge the support and loyalty we enjoy from our highly esteemed readers, who have remained faithful and committed to us.

This edition is a special one. Business Review Afrika has taken a great leap into the issue of industrious women in Africa, and our focus in this edition is on the Unstoppable Amazons of Nigeria.  It has been eight months since the outbreak of Covid-19 which has crippled economic activities across Africa and the globe but the destiny of Unstoppable Women to positively thrive in and impact on our society remains firm and focus  even amidst gender inequality.

There is no doubt that countries have to live with the realities of Covid-19 pandemic; lockdown are easing up, schools are re-opening and a new movement of economic strategies is rising above simmering difficult times.

As we forge ahead and progress with new economic, social and political innovations to develop our societies, we should never forget that  partnership with women to solve our collective problems is a sure way to have all-encompassing and lasting solutions to our socio-economic and political predicaments

Thus we are proud and excited to introduce to you the September Edition of Business Review Afrika Magazine, which takes on one of the most debated social issues of our time. Gender inequality, social roles of women and affirmative action for women are breaking new grounds, especially now that Unstoppable Women have proved  worldwide that they can impact enormously on the lives of people in our society.

In this September Edition, we bring to you. Hajiya Maryam Inna Ciroma, and Dame Julie Oka-Donli,  the Unstoppable Women of the Month, who have risen and made indelible marks to achieve greatness in the midst of gender bias and inequalities in the Nigeria political sphere.

Agriculture and food production is the oldest of human occupations for which Africa is naturally endowed? However, in the abundance of natural resources and fertile land, African countries import foods and natural products. What could be responsible for this contradiction? A section of this edition examines this debacle of the agricultural sector.

Also included in this edition is an x-ray of the pains and gains of one year  of Nigeria border closure.

We encourage you to navigate this edition with keen attention and enjoy the array of incisive issues and development that continue to define the African economy, even as we look forward to a bigger and stronger Africa.

Remain firm and resolute to the African project, a dream and task that must be accomplished.

Happy reading!
