As Nigeria
hosts the 25th World Economic Forum on Africa, on 7 – 9 May, 2014 Y! Africa has
partnered with the Global Shapers Hub in Abuja to present a special issue. The
special issue focuses on SHAPE Africa, which holds on 5 – 6 May in Abuja, just
before the Forum.
The
magazine is covered by three Global Shapers from #TeamNigeria. Lala Akindoju is
an actor producer and member of the Lagos Hub, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu is presenter
of Rubbin’ Minds and also of the Lagos Hub and Japheth Omojuwa is a blogger,
lecturer and member of the Abuja Hub. The cover is shot by TCD Photography.
“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.
