Women face all levels of discriminations – Mo Abudu

Nigerian media mogul and philanthropist, Mo Abudu, has called on African women to work a bit harder noting that women are facing all levels of discrimination in the world.

She stated this during an interview with BBC while reacting to being named as Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women list alongside the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

According to Forbes’ 20th annual ranking released in early December 2023, the Nigerian economist held the 87th spot, while South African businesswoman Mpumi Madisa, ranked 88th.

While reacting, Mo Abudu who occupied the 98th position called on African women to step out to break barriers considering all levels of discriminations.

She also noted that God must be involved in whatever one wants to do.

Abudu said, “Being named among the best African women in Forbes list can only be God’s doing. I don’t want to start getting spiritual about work but I do delivery as a space and there is a place for spirituality. When I wake up every day I pray to God to bless whatever I want to do. READ MORE
