TOP 40 UNDER 40 FEMALE PROFESSIONALS IN NIGERIA

Lagos, Nigeria -- June 1st, 2005 -- When we took to the streets to ask, Who are the top 40 under 40 female professionals in Nigeria? Here is one of the answers we got, 'That one na easy question, if you want make I name names': Madame Speaker, Honourable Etteh is one, Doctor Mrs Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, Stock Exchange is another! Wait, wait, we said, under 40?! I hear you my brothers but wetin a woman fit accomplish before 40 in this country that would make a top lady?!'

The average Joe and Jane in Nigeria don't have a monopoly over such sentiment. It seems as a nation, as with many others around the world, we are yet to come to grips with the reality that more and more women, especially younger women, are raising to top of their careers. It therefore becomes an imperative for us, as a nation, to start sensitizing ourselves to this notion that women of all ages deserve the right to be successful.

To inspire and cultivate a Nigeria that appreciates the young professional woman, the Nigerian Professionals Network (NiPRO) is hosting the first of its kind reception to recognize and highlight the achievements of young professional women in Nigeria. "Let us catch and honour them young, to help inspire more of them to become the likes of Dr. (Mrs) Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, says Kamil Olufowobi, the Executive Director of NiPRO International. He went on to say, we aim to connect these up and coming 40 diverse, young and talented female professionals with their more established counterparts, one to facilitate mentorship and two, as a group we are asking for a collective and innovative plan of action to help inspire more female leadership in Nigeria."

In honouring the Top 40 under 40 Female professionals in Nigeria, as NiPRO intendsto do as part of their 2nd Top (40) under (40) Conventions on Sunday, September 9th, 2007 in Lagos, NiPRO will begin the transformation the Nigerian society needs with regards to embracing female leadership of all ages.

The outcome of the Summit will be a collective and innovative plan of action to inspire more female leadership in Nigeria.

Overview

We are witnessing today the gradual change of perception by many governments, organizations and individuals around the world about the role of women in Society. Nigeria for instance with the ushering of democracy has little by little seen many women risen to higher positions in academics, politics and the corporate world. Young women are continuing to use their special talents (feminine genius and energy) to transform the Nigerian Society. Therefore, it becomes necessary to recognize and highlight the achievements of these women to inspire and cultivate a Nigeria that appreciates the NiPRO Woman.
