Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Citizenship & Leadership
As the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Citizenship and Leadership, my office is committed to promoting civic education and developing initiatives geared at fostering youth leadership development.
In commemoration of Women’s Month and the International Women’s Day – and in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to youth empowerment and gender mainstreaming - my office is organising the Young Women’s Leadership Conference. The conference aims to examine young women’s leadership across three critical sectors, namely: Politics & Governance, Business & Tech, and Youth & Student-Led Movements, with a view to shaping policies, laws and initiatives that will enable young women thrive in the highlighted sectors.
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and empower young Nigerian women from diverse backgrounds, and arm them with the information and tools needed to take advantage of available opportunities while also working to create more. We believe that by investing in personal and professional growth, we can create positive change and build a more inclusive society.
