Indeed, after a period of planning, gathering ingredients and doing the cooking, it’s time to serve you “<strong>ACCOMPLISH</strong> <strong>MAGAZINE</strong>”! And, I gladly add “… with flourish!” To do a fitting introduction of “Accomplish Magazine” one needs to acknowledge how Mrs. Remi Diagbare, the Publisher, invested intentionally to build and sustain relationships among writers, reporters, editors and graphic designers over the years. Her investment has paid off with a respectable group of media practitioners helping to deliver publications that help readers make enlightened decisions about the issues of living and well-being. The primary goal of “Accomplish Magazine” is to profile and celebrate the achievements and lifestyle choices of outstanding leaders and influencers in business, manufacturing, agriculture, academia, administration, entertainment and innovation in Nigeria, Africa and, indeed, globally. Besides the Publisher and I, TEAM <strong>ACCOMPLISH</strong> is taking off with Harry Choms, a freelance writer with a passion for words and a keen eye for details, an editor, and an avid tech believer; Adebayo Afolabi - a passionate business writer with a knack for translating complex concepts into accessible content and Damian Ikenna Ngere, who is a a freelance writer with keen interest in technology, humanity and sports.
