The group chief executive officer of Felak Concept Group, Aisha Achimugu, has urged Africans to be proud of their continent.
The businesswoman stated this while receiving an award at the 2024 African Achievers Awards in the House of Parliament, UK, where she was honoured as the African Female Business Leader of the Year for her contributions to the business sector in Nigeria and Africa.
Achimugu stated that Africans are great people created by God.
She affirmed that the continent has produced great people who are doing great things all over the world and who are also proud of where they come from.
‘’I feel very proud to be an African. Not just being an African, being black African. If you’re proud to be an African, please clap for yourself. Africa is a great continent with great people created by God and we are proud of it,’’ she stated.
She, however, urged the people of Africa to make it great by moving away from making only speeches but to take action.
‘’We should move away from making empty speeches but should endevour to walk the talk to make Africa great,’’ she added.
The entrepreneur also thanked the organisers of the award for recognising African achievers and also congratulated other honorees.
Other honorees at the prestigious ceremony included Visu Thembekwayo, founder and CEO of MyGrowth Fund Venture Partner, South Africa; Barrister Caleb Muftwang, Governor of Plateau State, Nigeria; Olu of Warri; Ogiame Atuwatse III; and Gospel Singer Moses Bliss.
