WILAN Hosts Women Leaders to Boost Collaboration in Nigeria

The Women Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) organized a convening in Abuja, gathering 100 senior emerging women leaders from diverse sectors to promote collaboration and strengthen women's roles in Nigeria's development. The event, themed "Connect to Impact: Cross-Sector Leadership for National Growth," aimed to explore greater collaboration among women leaders to address national challenges and improve representation in decision-making spaces.

Founder Georg Ogan emphasized the need for stronger partnerships across sectors to tackle Nigeria's complex challenges, stating that no single sector can solve these issues alone. Keynote speaker Madam Elsi Awadzi discussed the importance of cross-sector leadership in shaping Africa's future, advocating for collaborative leadership to drive sustainable development.

The program included a public sector roundtable and discussions on institutional reforms, showcasing emerging women leaders from sectors such as health, finance, agriculture, and the environment. This convening is part of WILAN's broader efforts to advance women's leadership through strategic partnerships and collective action.
