“The Abuja Global Shapers is excited to host this gathering of
Shapers across the Continent representing 35 hubs and 25 countries,”
said Joycee Awomodu, who is curator of the hub. “We expect that at the
end of this gathering we would have come up with bold solutions for
action and implementation in our communities. We strongly believe that
if you change the thinking, you can change the results.”
The issue also profiles the Abuja Global Shapers, as well as a piece
by Editor-at-Large Sean Obedih on Corporate Venture Capital and a
profile on Africa’s leading youth event, The Future Awards Africa, which
2014 season will also be launched this week.
The magazine will be widely available in Abuja as complimentary for
guests of the Forum. It follows Y! Africa’s last edition, covered by
founder of the Mara Group, Ashish J. Thakkar. Y! Africa is available in
stores and from vendors across Nigeria, and is also distributed in
Ghana, Rwanda and South Africa.
