Abudu's major partnership deals with Sony Pictures Television, AMC Networks and Netflix were some of the reasons she made this year's list.
The deal with Netflix marked the first time an African media company signed a multi-title film and TV agreement with the streaming giant.
The other Nigerian who made the list was the former minister of finance and current Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
