Popularly known as an ‘Afrocentric Marketer’,
Bukky is a passionate young female Nigerian
entrepreneur and founder of Bellafricana,
a business focused on promoting creative
(Made-in-Nigeria) business development
through a platform that bridges the gap
between producers of quality creative/indigenous
products in Nigeria (Africa) and their
consumers globally. She started her business
in the hope of creating more jobs and to
help develop talents in her area of creative
expertise. This is underscored by the fact that
she observed a vast increase in the number of
unique products made in Nigeria (Africa) but
noticed a huge gap between local producers
and consumers. What better way than through
the internet?
