The event began with the welcome address by ANWBN’s National Coordinator, Chief Mrs. Anita Nana Okuribido who thanked the guests, speakers, and delegates for a successful event.”I must say that the year has been eventful. We kicked off with the Nationwide Walk to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) and the presentation of Our Seven Point Agenda to Government and other stakeholders.
We also had a number of collaborations that have impacted on individual organisations and collectively.
This includes SheTrades, UN Women, NEPC, IOM, FCMB, Access bank, COWLSO and DFID’s project on the transformation of Women Agroprenuers in South West Nigeria.
Our Membership Sensitization Forum which took place at Raddison Hotel, Lagos was quite memorable and the first since the inception of our Great Network.
I strongly believe that our contributions would go a long way to transform the business environment for women and take ANWBN to greater heights.”
A panel session X-ray the many challenges affecting women in the sector identified how to make things better and seek new opportunities for female entrepreneurs.
