The organisers of the second edition of Nigeria’s leading
entrepreneurial event, Women of West Africa Entrepreneurship Conference (WOWe)
2014, Montgomery West Africa, have said the conference would provide a high
level networking platform that “connects the most influential women
entrepreneurs to exchange ideas and dialogue on issues related to entrepreneurship
and leadership.” WOWe, according to the Managing Director, Montgomery West
Africa, Tori Abiola, was created as a platform for women entrepreneurs in West
Africa as an avenue for them to tap into a wealth of resources, contacts,
knowledge and opportunities, irrespective of their backgrounds, connections and
vision.
Toriola added that “as women continue to play the most
significant role in economic development, they need their own economic
independence and the skills to grow their businesses to be sustainable and
result in growth opportunities.”
The conference, scheduled to take place next week at the
Oriental Hotel, Lagos, will attract several female entrepreneurs from various
industries such as Information Communication Technology (ICT), Fashion, Oil and
Gas, among others.
List of speakers at the conference include Prominent
personalities in their fields like Ms Genevieve Nnaji (actress, model, singer,
designer), Mrs Onari Duke (Country Director EMPRETEC Nigeria Foundation), Mrs
Folake Akindele (Managing Director, Tiffany Amber) and Mrs Bukky George (CEO
HealthPlus Pharmacy), to mention a few.
Chapel Hill Denham, sponsor of the event, through its Women’s
Investment Fund, also revealed that it was proud to be a sponsor of the
conference.
Director Investment Management Group, Mrs Ononuju Irukwu,
said “we believe WoWe is a great platform for young women entrepreneurs to meet
and share experiences while receiving first-hand knowledge from Nigeria’s most
successful female entrepreneurs.”
Other major sponsors included Nestlé and First Bank, among
