annual compendium, made this
known in a joint statement issued
on Thursday in Abuja.
They said, “In publishing
this compendium every year, we
envision that we will continue to
contribute to gender equality and
women empowerment advocacy
efforts toward filling the yawning
gender gap in the leadership of
Nigeria.
“This year’s sterling list of Nigeria’s foremost women leaders is
a mixed grill of tech experts, pastors, politicians, teachers, activists,
development
practitioners, and C-Suite corporate leaders.
“It is a gender-specific biographical compendium that responds to existing gender gaps in
Nigeria’s biographical documentation and leadership.
“The current edition would be
the most qualitative biographical
profile on Nigeria’s most inspirational and influential women
whose work would contribute to
shaping Nigeria’s collective history in 2024.”
Now in its seventh year, the

The IWD is celebrated across
the globe to raise awareness about
issues that affect women and girls,
as well as celebrate women who
contributed to societal development and to humanity.
The theme of 2024 IWD is ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress’, and will spotlight critical topics essential for fostering inclusive
and equitable societies through
the economic empowerment of
women and girls
