Mary Olushoga, Founder of the AWP Network states;
Women entrepreneurs in Nigeria’s informal sector are the unsung backbone of our nation’s economy. March is women’s history month, and we are glad to celebrate and provide capacity building support to Nigerian women entrepreneurs, particularly those living in the rural areas.
Prosperity is more than economic growth. Prosperity embodies a society where every individual can thrive, where innovation drives processes, and enables us to break the chains of poverty. We are excited to launch this initiative with our government and private sector partners.
Partners include Global Plastic Action Partnership, Risevest, The Nest Innovation Park, and leading banks.
