The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.

Welcome back! And happy new month — it’s the first Monday in October. (I’m quite late today, but with a bit of luck, I should be back to a regular schedule soon, including weekly essays.)

If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll (generally) receive 2 weekly Afridigest emails: the weekly digest (every Monday afternoon Lagos time) and either an original essay or the new Thought Circle format (generally on Saturdays at roughly 7pm-ish Lagos time). For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
