The award recognizes outstanding journalism work, particularly regional, highlighting African entrepreneurs’ innovation, community impact, and strategies.

The awards are geographically divided, recognizing the best work from each of Africa’s five regions and a Grand Journalism Excellence Award for the best overall article.

Mrs. Juliana Olayinka, Channels Television London Bureau Chief and Host of Channels Business Global, won the award for the Best Business Journalist in West Africa.

She has extensive experience writing and presenting to a global audience, turning complex information into engaging content, and managing multiple projects simultaneously.

She has worked with high-net-worth individuals and government bodies across the African continent, focusing on team building, optimizing cross-sector partnerships, maximising stakeholder mapping, boosting fledging campaigns, and transforming underwhelming digital reputations.

Olayinka has proven experience in managing politically sensitive relationships and has moderated high-level panels on behalf of The European Union, The African Union, The Nigerian Federal Government, The British Council, and the British Government.

Her business intelligence firm J.O. Consultancy & Partners has allowed her to build a strong network of highly accomplished businesswomen who regularly spark meaningful debate about topics that matter to all of us.

Since graduating with a degree in Journalism from the University of Arts London, she has worked in the world’s leading newsrooms, ensuring that compelling images and text resonate with those whose stories are rarely heard on the global stage.

The ABH’s five-year journey will culminate at the Kigali Convention Centre on November 23-24, celebrating African entrepreneurship. This event offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to gain insights and witness the top 10 ABH finalists compete for the 2023 Africa’s Business Heroes Winner title.

The President-elect had stated the following in a petition dated March 30, 2023, and signed by Bayo Onanuga, Director of Media and Publicity for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council:

“In line with Section 14.0.1 of the Nigerian Broadcasting Code 6th edition stating the duty of the National Broadcasting Commission to accept complaints from aggrieved persons, bodies or members of the public and investigate as well as apply sanctions where necessary, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council now petitions the Commission on what it considers breaches by Channels TV last week on its program ‘Politics Today.’

He charged Baba-Ahmed with disparaging the credibility of the presidential election on February 25, 2023, in several remarks. Datti criticized Tinubu’s election as president-elect in the interview and sternly urged President Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria not to swear him in.

In his petition, Tinubu demanded that the station be penalized because the program host should have warned the Labour party candidate against making such careless remarks.

The petition in part reads;

“He (Datti) said the Labour Party won the elections. This is a fallacy and not correct. According to the Code, a Broadcaster is liable when his guest is allowed to make a wild statement that is inaccurate and not based on fact. The only accurate figures empirically collated as the final result is the one released by the Independent National Electoral Commission which placed the Labour Party as third.

The guest on the program in question Datti Baba -Ahmed said the President of the country Muhammadu Buhari should not swear in the President-elect because he did not score a 25% vote in the FCT….”
