This year alone, we have partnered with Enterprise Development Center (EDC) of the prestigious Pan African University to provide mentorship for female leaders across industries.
In addition, we also organized an Accelerator Programme for female tech founders, in partnership with WEAV Capital and IFC, showing our commitment to see women thrive in their various fields. Women are an important part of the business environment in Nigeria and for our business, they are very important stakeholders, so we are happy to do this again as our way of showing support for them.
