Nigerian media mogul Mo Abudu has been included among TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2025.
TIME Magazine recognises individuals for changing the world by shaping the future of business, entertainment, sports, politics, science, health and more.
Mo Abudu, who is the founder of EbonyLife Group, makes the list this year for contributions to film, television, and media.
Speaking on Abudu’s work ethic, Hollywood star Idris Elba, who has worked with her, said, “She has an infectious, can-do attitude and the tenacity to overcome any obstacle in her way.
“Her sprawling empire—from studios and productions to cinemas and a creative academy—is testament to that.”
