“The word unlock or unlocking is the opposite word for Lockdown, our new theme is representing how Africa Is coming out of the COVID crisis and also how we as Nomad Africa will be ‘Unlocking’ new opportunities that have arisen in the ‘new normal”, says John Akinribido, CEO and co-founder of 2414 Ltd. “In each new category we will be seeking to showcase what different people, businesses, cultures are doing to ‘unlock’ themselves as we restore Africa and the industry to an even greater ‘normal’.”
