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, November 28th 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, 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. She shared her entrepreneurial journey, urging women to embrace self-awareness, define their purpose, and make decisions tailored to their goals.
The panel session further deepened the conversations with insights from experts across various fields. Dr. Maymunah Kadiri, a psychotherapist and mental health advocate, spoke passionately about prioritizing mental well-being as a foundation for personal and professional success.
