At a recent interactive session in Lagos by a group, Women in Business, the co-founder, She Leads Africa, Ms. Afua Osei, explained that women should not to be overwhelmed by the harsh economic environment that sought to limit them from attaining greater heights.
The event had brought together women from diverse industries and organisations to address issues concerning women in all areas of economic endeavour.
She said, “It’s a tough society with series of odds stacked against women, but we must never give up. We will find it hard going alone but our strength is in our unity.
“When we collectively face challenges, we will achieve more. We should network more, share insights more and seek solutions together. We must not be overwhelmed by the institutional and cultural hurdles on our paths; we must refuse to be limited.”
Osei, who had also served in the office of America’s ex-First Lady, Michelle Obama, added, “This is a unique opportunity that has been offered to us by Cloudcover; we should do well to seize it and also look into offerings by the company that can assist us in our respective endeavours. Whether entrepreneurs, professionals or businesswomen, we will find the device
invaluable.”
The Group Chief Operating Officer, Cloudcover Limited, Ms. Eleanor Potter, explained that the aim of the interaction was to help women surmount cultural and institutional hurdles they face in realising their career and business goals, through quality networking.
She said that Cloudcover recognised the huge but underappreciated roles women had been playing in the Nigerian business landscape and would continue to offer them innovative solutions that would give them a headstart and make their tasks easier in whichever sector of the economy they were
