It’s October again; marking Nigeria’s month of independence. Many Nigerians don’t think there’s anything to celebrate but reasoning objectively, we think otherwise.
In this edition of Accomplish Magazine, we celebrate six randomly selected “Giants of Africa”: Dr. Aliko Dangote GCON, Dr. Michael Adeniyi Adenuga Jr. GCON, Barr. Allen Ifechukwu Onyema CON; Adebayo O. Ogunlesi CON, Ibukun Awosika CON and Chimamanda Adichie and many others who have shone in the Nigerian business and intellectual firmament.
We have sober thoughts for the hundreds of millions of Nigerians who may go without food on Independence Day! The question is: Why should a country which produced these icons be in the backwater of infrastructural and institutional development?
Please, go through the pages to see the incisive, soul searching articles in this edition reflect these concerns under “Features and Analysis”.
We’re also celebrating the accomplishments of some people whose contributions are making life better. They are: Nigerian-American scientist, Robert Okojie, honoured by NASA; Sharfuddeen Sadiq Maisikeli, who pioneered the production of USB cables in Nigeria; Hemen Bekele, 15-year old Ethiopian scientist who created soap for skin cancer treatment; Tobi Amusan, world record holder in hurdles and Rena Wakama, best basketball coach at the 2024 Olympics Games.
As usual, our regulars on angel investment, artificial intelligence, real estate, travel/leisure and foods/drinks have been packaged with you in mind. We had to make this Independence edition a Special Edition!
