West African Powerhouses: 3 Companies from the Region Claim Spots on Africa's Top 250 List in 2023
In 2023, our survey of Africa’s Top 250 Companies features firms from just three West African countries, namely Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana. Nigeria dominates the list with 22 companies, followed by Côte d’Ivoire with 11, while only two Ghanaian companies made it to the list.

Ruth E. Carter x Pensole Lewis College announce winners of "Icons of Afrofuture" design challenge
Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design (PLC) has announced the winners of the “Icons of Afrofuture” Design Challenge in partnership with Ruth E. Carter, the Academy Award-winning costume designer for the films Black Panther and the recently nominated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
“Afrofuturism is innovative and creative; it’s being artistic, visionary, and inspired,” Carter said. “It’s realizing the power of your voice. It’s knowing you can influence change in someone’s life by helping them see their potential.”
NAACP is further amplifying the power of their voice by including this historical moment of adding a Costume Design category into their 54th Award Season. Ruth Carter, an HBCU graduate herself, selected the winning “Icons of Afrofuture” designs - by the following young designers:
Cresseide Jacques
D'on Lauren Edwards
Keanu Williams aka King Nu
Irueosa Osadayi Ohanmu
Carter will wear their designs at the upcoming:
- NAACP Fashion Show held at Event Deck at L.A. Live on February 23; red carpet 12:30pm (PST); reception 1:00pm (PST); Fashion Show 2:00pm (PST)
- NAACP Awards Dinner held at Event Deck at L.A. Live on February 24; red carpet 4:00pm (PST) Awards program 6:00pm (PST)
- 54th NAACP Image Awards, televised live 5:00pm (PST) on BET on February 25, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium; and
- 25th Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGA), held on February 27 at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles; red carpet 5:30pm (PST); ceremony 8:30pm (PST).
“Our vision is to identify, develop and support talented, aspiring Black designers to build a community and legacy,” PLC Founder and President Dr. D’Wayne Edwards said. “Working with a creative legend like Ruth Carter, we are able to provide opportunities that elevate these aspiring creatives to realize their dreams of becoming the future of fashion and costume design.”
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an NAACP Image Awards nominee across 12 motion picture categories. Ruth Carter is known for turning the Black Panther superhero into an African king, making history as the first Black person to win in the Costume Design category and earning Marvel Studios its first Oscar.
“With support from PLC Founding partners, Gilbert Family Foundation and Target, Hyatt, and MW Cares, we are able to launch the first Icons of Afrofuture. And we will be seeking additional partners to help us continue to impact lives and make dreams come true for future challenges with Ruth Carter,” Edwards said.
The Icons of Afrofuture design challenge was also produced in partnership with Archtoculture, an impact-focused creative agency and venture studio committed to helping underserved founders and brands gain equal access to capital and opportunities.
