Fu'ad Lawal - Former Editor-in-Chief of Zikoko, now Growth Lead at Eden Life.

Fu'ad describes himself as a 'Full stack' Content Honcho who has done Editorial tours (text, photo, and video journalism), Business Development, Online Marketing, & PR. His career spans years in content at Pulse Nigeria, Redux, and Zikoko.
At Pulse, Fu'ad led a team to travel across the 36 states in Nigeria and document it. Then, in Zikoko, he did the same for a tour across all the countries of West Africa. Now, as Growth Lead at Eden Life, who knows what his plans are.
In this video, Fu'ad talks to me about all of it: his career journey so far, the trips, the challenge of getting Zikoko to become the household name it is now, his experience writing 100 episodes of Naira Life, the transition to Growth at Eden and more. This video is FUN, and it is INSPIRING.
