Lagos, Nigeria — March 9, 2026 — Datari Ladejo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BusinessDay Media Limited and Fernhill Digital, today announced the launch of “She Means Business,” a business intelligence platform exclusively for women to drive African economies. The platform debuts in a monthly publication and marks the beginning of a broader effort built around intelligence, strategy, and actionable outcomes.
“She Means Business” addresses the gaps that have become evident as Nigerian women achieve milestones in business, investment, and public life. They lead some of the country’s most influential companies, manage large investment portfolios and shape policy at the highest levels. Until now, no dedicated business intelligence ecosystem has been built to match the rigor and strategic depth that this audience brings to their work.
The platform’s editorial philosophy weaves real stories, actionable insights, and strategic business intelligence to give women everything they need to build wealth, grow their companies, and wield influence. Each issue draws on the breadth of women’s leadership across finance, entrepreneurship, technology, infrastructure, and public policy, and every story is grounded in verifiable data, replicable frameworks, and insights that turn real-world experience into business intelligence. Distributed as a BusinessDay insert, She Means Business magazine reaches Nigeria’s most influential readership: corporate executives, investors, policy makers and business professionals who are already making important decisions.
The partnership brings together Datari Radejo, leader of Forbes Agency Council’s Women’s Executive Group, a digital strategy and communications expert with an extensive track record of promoting women’s leadership across Africa, and Business Day, a newspaper with a proven track record in the Nigerian business community for over 20 years, in a venture that combines strategic conviction and institutional authority. At the heart of this partnership is a shared belief that business intelligence, when built specifically for African women leaders, can change the trajectory of African economies.

“Nigerian women business owners, investors, entrepreneurs, and political leaders have been driving economic outcomes without a dedicated business intelligence platform built to the scale of what they are building. She Means Business exists to fill that gap, not only by celebrating women in the highest positions, but also by documenting the intelligence behind how they scale, lead and influence. Women on the ground are making the decisions that drive markets, and they deserve a platform built on the same standards they stand for.The women driving this economy deserve media commensurate with the scale of their influence. We have long waited for an ecosystem that brings the editorial rigor, distribution, and institutional credibility that this audience demands and deserves.”

Mr. Frank Aigbogun, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of BusinessDay, spoke about the broader importance of the platform in Nigeria’s economic story.
“Nigeria’s development story is incomplete without women. This partnership allows us to position women as equal partners in economic development, not on the sidelines, but at the heart of the intelligence we provide. She Means Business will grow into an ecosystem that informs policy, influences boards, and redefines how leadership and business success is measured and reported. BusinessDay is proud to anchor it.”
— Frank Aigbogun, Publisher and CEO, BusinessDay Media Limited
The first issue of She Means Business will be available from March 20, 2026 through BusinessDay’s print and digital networks. This marks the beginning of a platform that will grow beyond a magazine into a broader ecosystem of intelligence products, executive experiences, and research that serve women building Africa’s economies at all levels.
