Neil Munshi

Editor at Bloomberg covering West Africa. Ex-West Africa bureau chief for the Financial Times, based in Lagos, covering economics, politics, governance, business, security and culture in a region that stretches from the Sahel to Gabon and the Central African Republic, with a particular focus on Nigeria. I was previously a reporter in New York, where I wrote primarily about race and edited business and politics coverage. Before that, I was the paper’s Chicago bureau chief – where I covered the bankruptcy of Detroit and the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement – and a correspondent in Bombay.
