Startup secures $3.3m pre-series A funding, unveils new technologies
Releaf, a technology company that enables manufacturers in Africa, has raised $3.3 million in an oversubscribed Pre-Series A funding round. Kraken II is a portable, lower-cost version of Releaf’s Kraken – West Africa’s most advanced palm nut de-sheller. To make food supply chains profitable, we must maximize extraction yields with leading processing technology and minimize logistics costs by bringing processing capacity closer to farmers. Before Releaf, stakeholders had to choose between one or the other -large factories had great technology but were far away, leaving most farmers with rudimentary technology to process their crops.

Nigeria’s presidential charge in mockery | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Still, according to him, ‘2023 would, indeed, be a time when we would work to solidify on delivering key strategic priorities’. Nigeria is a country among the 195 countries of United Nations if Taiwan and Western Sahara craving for admission are to be added. Only five of these countries could assert firmly as leaders of the world and they occupy permanent seats in the UN Security Council. The same goes for USA where both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party – GOP, Grand Old Party – had been in the saddle. PMB should tell Nigerians what his SEA means and how it could be sustained devoid of nepotism and cronyism.
