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

Welcome back, friends! After two weeks off to hold my dad’s traditional burial ceremony in Southeastern Nigeria, we’re back.

Let’s get right into it — we pick up here where we left off a couple of weeks ago, so today’s newsletter covers weeks 17, 18, and 19. (We’ll be back to the regular schedule and format as of next Monday.)

If you’re new, welcome 🙌🏽 — you’ll receive a weekly digest like this one every Monday and, generally (but not always), an original essay/article on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
