Abudu, who has been nicknamed African ‘Oprah Winfrey,’ made the list alongside Funke Opeke of MainOne, Michael Arumemi-Ikhide of Arik Air, Olusegun Agbaje of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and Aliko Dangote of Dangote Group.
According to a statement made available to us yesterday, by Red Media Africa Communication Associate, Daphne Akatugba, in the list, Ventures Africa reviewed 13 outstanding Nigerian CEOs, saying: “These executive officers have been credited not because they sit on the chair of company with ‘high-sounding’ names but because they have been able to make a difference in highly competitive markets.
“They have demonstrated effective management capabilities through hard work, resilience, research, an understanding of the Nigeria business climate as they moved their companies forward.”
Abudu, also known as the queen of talk shows in Nigeria, is a media mogul and self-taught TV host.
In 2013, Abudu launched EbonyLife TV, Africa’s first continental black entertainment network, targeting Africa’s growing and aspiring middle class with programming that celebrates style and success while motivating its audiences to dream big.
“The Nigerian TV personality has arguably revolutionised pay TV in Africa since she launched the first syndicated talk show, Moments With Mo in 2006, and with EbonyLife TV, she is definitely one of the CEOs to look out for in the coming years,” it said.
