Wife of Deputy Governor, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat, said the event was an opportunity for them to revise the strategies for enhancing women’s socio-economic empowerment.
She said the choice of the theme ‘’will serve as the starting block for the new approach in 2025 to ignite the potential of women.’’
Padonu-Hassan, the supervisor, said through the symposium, ‘’one will get insight into how to reach the world from wherever.’’
She said since its inception, the selected themes and guest speakers had been carefully chosen to provide women with the opportunity to learn, unlearn, dine and wine.
