Zoho Nigeria Champions Women's Digital Empowerment

At the Guardian Women Festival 2026 held at the Federal Palace Hotel, Zoho Nigeria reinforced its commitment to women's digital empowerment through a partnership with the Guardian Newspaper. The festival celebrated women's contributions to business, governance, and social development, focusing on digital transformation for female entrepreneurs.

The theme aimed to foster collaboration and value exchange among women-led businesses. Kehind Ogundar delivered a keynote address titled "Give Value, Gain Growth: Women Drive Reciprocal Innovation in the Digital Economy," stressing the urgent need to close the digital gap among female entrepreneurs.

He noted that Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of women-owned businesses in Africa, yet less than 30% leverage digital tools to scale operations. Zubaida Aliyu participated in a panel session discussing the role of digital platforms in driving collaboration and mentorship.

She urged organizations to prioritize women's digital inclusion strategies. Zoho Nigeria reiterated its mission to provide enterprise-grade technology solutions to enable women-led businesses to transition from manual processes to scalable digital operations.
