As part of efforts aimed at projecting the impact Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) make and the drive to ensure women attain leadership positions, WIMBIZ hosted a Media Parley to appreciate its media partners for their unwavering support and dedication to amplifying women’s voices in leadership, business, and public service.
Speaking during the welcome address, Chairperson, WIMBIZ Board of Trustees, Bisi Adeyemi, commended the media for their continued partnership over the years, as it has helped in amplifying the activities of WIMBIZ and given a balanced reportage of the giant strides the organisation has been making.

In her presentation, WIMBIZ Executive Director, Omowunmi Akingbohungbe, highlighted some of the impacts WIMBIZ made last year through its various programs, noting that the organisation will not be resting on its laurels as it plans on ensuring that more women attain leadership positions across all spheres of life.
Ms Akingbohungbe, while highlighting some of the challenges women face in attaining leadership positions, confirmed that only 4 per cent of the Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) are women and WIMBIZ will be making more of its advocacy impact in the legal sector.
