Accra, Ghana – 13-Oct 2025 Just4WomenAfrica is proud to announce its partnership with the Business Growth Initiative for Startups (BGIS) to spotlight 10 outstanding female entrepreneurs participating in the programme.
The Business Growth Initiative for Startups (BGIS) is a programme funded by the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub, an initiative of the Digital Access Programme (DAP), and implemented by Spurt! and Ubulu Africa Development Foundation (UBDEV).
BGIS is designed to support women-led, growth-stage ventures in Nigeria with tailored capacity-building, customised business advisory, visibility across digital media, and access to a network of mentors, partners, and investors.

Partnering with the BGIS programme aligns perfectly with our vision to spotlight women entrepreneurs who are shaping Africa’s economic future,” said Olalekan Amusa, Founder of Just4WomenAfrica.
