On Friday, March 14, a diverse audience will gather at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, for the second edition of the Guardian Woman Festival.
A flagship event of The Guardian Nigeria, this trailblazing event celebrates the achievements of female leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are revolutionising industries and creating transformative impact.
Themed: “Women Mean Business,” this year’s festival will spotlight the critical role women play in reshaping economies and societies through innovation, leadership, and enterprise.
The convener and chief strategy officer (Global) of The Guardian, Anita Athena Ibru, who expressed not only her enthusiasm but the need for such an event said, “The Guardian Woman Festival is more than just a celebration; it’s a movement that galvanizes women to take charge of their futures, break boundaries, and influence meaningful change across industries. To borrow the tagline of my brand ‘Investing In Women’, we are gathering together at this live media event to press for progress.”
Attendees can look forward to an inspiring day with a keynote address by the Honourable Minister, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, which will underscore the significance of women’s contributions to national and global economies. The festival will also feature panels and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and highlight actionable strategies for progress both on business and personal levels.
