Nigeria
The West African country has 17.8 per cent of its businesses being owned by women, with cultural perceptions of women entrepreneurs being positive. Generally, the emphasis has been on small-scale and subsistence entrepreneurship for women but this is gradually changing as women are entering into daring fields in entrepreneurship such as Bilikiss Adebiyi, founder of a Lagos-based company which mainly focuses on recycling waste and cleaning up neighbourhoods through a recycling program and Yasmin Belo-Osagie, the co-founder of She Leads Africa (SLA), a Nigeria-based social enterprise that equips female entrepreneurs in Africa with the requisite financing, knowledge and network to build strong businesses.
