I am the Co-Founder of Thistleberry Food Co. Ltd, a women-led agro-processing and export enterprise based in Abuja, Nigeria. With over nine years in the agro-food sector, along with my Founder & CEO, we have built a clean-label, export-ready product line spanning functional flours, spices, dried fruits, herbal teas, dehydrated fruits and vegetables: all produced to BRCGS Compliance, ISO 22000 - 2018, HACCP, FDA, and NAFDAC standards.

Through our training arm, the Thistleberry Agro-Processing Academy, we also support African SMEs in meeting global food safety and market access requirements. We am passionate about leveraging the AfCFTA to unlock intra-African trade, build sustainable supply chains, and create economic opportunities for women and smallholder farmers across the continent. Iam also looking forward to the Youth Start Up and the Fashion side of the event
