Africa’s richest woman, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija has a message for women.

“There is evidence that women can be agents of economic change. The world economy is now in such a way that the men cannot do it on their own, we need bold women to step it up and take their rightful place.”

“As women, we have to take the bull by the horn and make the change happen by ourselves. As women, you need to go out there and fight for what you need to get and get where you want to be. Women need to be given the opportunities to tap into their talents, and energy is being wasted on a daily basis.”
