Happy Friday! I hope you’re gearing up for an amazing weekend. Just dropping in to share Track 4 of The Trajectory Africa.
In this episode, I chat with Abieyuwa Obaseki, a consultant at Stears Data, a division of Stears Business. Stears’ mission is to make it easy for anyone anywhere in the world to access high quality information and data on Africa. Abieyuwa currently focuses on delivering insights to, for, and about Nigeria’s technology and innovation ecosystems. Prior to Stears, she was a strategy consultant advising clients in the UK across multiple sectors, such as banking, telecoms, and consumer goods.
Abieyuwa and I chatted about how Stears Nigeria came to be and why it aspires to be the “Bloomberg of Africa”, the proper size of consumer and b2b markets in Nigeria, key indicators of consumption readiness for Nigerian consumers, what enables consumption in Nigeria, and how fintech enables business, consumption, and financial inclusion. This is a meaty episode, so settle in with your green tea (or coffee) and laundry folding!
Also, if you’re still craving African tech focused edification, check out this piece from Rest of the World about VCs in Nigeria’s tech sector.
Until next time,
Tayo
