Lagos, Nigeria— In what seems to have been a daunting year across the globe, especially Africa with occurrences such as the Covid-19 pandemic, #EndSARS police brutality in Nigeria, political and tribal unrest in Ethiopia, unstable presidential elections in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana, the Uganda unrest etc, a shift towards the positives will see the world applauding enterprising women of innovation and perseverance.
The 2020 U.S. election was historical for many reasons, but for Kamala Harris in particular. She becomes the first woman, the first Black, and the first Asian American vice president. For many, Harris has become not just a role model, but an affirmation of the power and place of women and people of colour. A fact that has become relevant not just in the U.S., but globally and in Africa as well. Congratulations Vice President Harris!
In Africa, more women are answering the call to public service at all levels of government. Many are holding key ministry roles and making decisions in areas such as Finance, Environment, Natural Resources, Energy, Employment, Labor, Vocational Training, and Trade & Industry.
