Seun Awogbenle Announces Launch of Policraft

Nigerian writer and development economist Seun Awogbenle has announced the launch of Policraft.

In a statement in London on behalf of the company, Awogbenle said Policraft will provide a range of services that will deepen the impact of public policy, shape public opinion, influence outcomes, and inspire positive change.

“Our range of services is at the intersection of policy, communication and the media, with a plan to expand to other key sectors of the economy. We have a firm commitment to social impact and strong confidence in the promise and prospect of Nigeria, at a time of vital economic reforms.”

Awogbenle, who recently completed a master’s programme in economic development from the United Kingdom, said the effort also represents an opportunity for him to adapt the key learnings from the programme for the prosperity of Nigeria, adding that individual responsibility remains vital to a strong economic future.

“Our long-term prosperity can only be achieved through enterprise, innovation and investment in key sectors. The important work we must do today is to take responsibility and identify our role in shaping that future with strong will and relentless determination.

“The need for individual responsibility has never been more critical than at this time of global economic shock and disruptions. They serve as important reminders of why we must look inward as a nation and continue to build strength at home.”

Awogbenle, a Nigerian writer, development economist, and public policy professional, is the author of The Urgency of Now.

In November, he graduated from Bournemouth University, United Kingdom, where he gained essential knowledge in contemporary and emerging global economic issues, such as international economics, economic growth, global trade, energy transition, human capital, industrialisation, and inclusive development.

He is a member of the Nigerian Economic Society (NES) and a columnist for THISDAY and TheCable newspapers. He has been featured on BBC World Service, Arise News, and other local and international platforms. Through his writings and commentaries, he reiterates his belief in the power of policy and politics to transform lives and deliver public good. His writings have earned him acknowledgement from the governors and other influential personalities.
