FSDH successfully hosted the fourth edition of its Women in Business Initiative (WIBI) Summit, themed “She Transcends: Spurring Women to Build Enduring Businesses and Careers.” The hybrid event, held on Thursday 28th November 2024 at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Lagos and streamed online, brought together notable speakers and attendees to discuss strategies for empowering women in business and career.
In her keynote address, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika stressed the importance of investing in women’s talents for nation-building. “Any nation that does not nurture its women population is losing so much and will never reach its full potential,” she affirmed.
