Mo Abudu Makes List Of 25 Most Powerful Women in Global Television

Media mogul and CEO of EbonyLife Television (EL TV), Mosunmola Abudu has been listed among 25 most powerful women in global TV by Hollywood Reporter.

The Hollywood Reporter is one of the most respected show business magazines in the world.

Ebony Life TV is Africa’s first Global black entertainment and lifestyle network which began broadcasting in July, 2013 to a pan-African audience in about 50 countries on DSTV Channel 165.

According to Hollywood Reporter’s review, Mo Abudu has been at the forefront of media innovation on the continent since transitioning from a career in human resources at oil giant, Exxon Mobil to hosting a talk show “Moments with Mo”.

Her media empire now extends to movies.

In 2016, EbonyLife’s film division co-produced Nollywood romcom The Wedding Party, which smashed local box-office records, raking in more than $1.3 million at the Nigerian box office.

Her goal for the coming year is to successfully produce Africa’s first sci-fi TV series.

Mo in her reaction to the listing said it was an honor and privilege to be included in global review.

“It’s an honor to continue to fly the flag for Nigeria and the continent. I continue to give God all the glory. Thank you Lord and a big thank you to the EbonyLife team, my family and friends, partners and sponsors who give me so much support,” Mo said.
