Committee For Africa Women Conference 2025 Constituted

A planning committee for the Africa Women Conference (AWC) 2025, consisting of representatives from Nigeria and other African countries, has been constituted.

In a statement, AWC co-convener Dr Jumai Ahmadu said members of the planning committee include Aisha A. Adamu, chairperson Joseph Yaba, Blessing Ogogo Ugbem, and Mimi Sawa Gamaliel.
She said the purpose is to provide a structured approach for planning and executing the 2025 Africa Women Conference. She revealed that at the last AWC in Zambia, it was decided that to demonstrate their ability to build the next generation and provide opportunities to express their leadership skills, the AWC Next will be the ones to plan for AWC 2025, hence the choice of Aisha Adamu as chairperson.

Dr Ahmadu further stated that the committee will identify other members from other African countries to ensure alignment with the conference’s goals of empowering women and addressing critical issues affecting women across Africa.

„This decision is part of our practical mentorship program to empower the next generation of African women for purposeful leadership. It is very important to note that the Africa Women Conference Next Generation are responsible for the planning of this year‘s conference.

„ We are not just planning an event but to pave the way for a future where women across Africa can thrive, lead, and inspire.

„ Our diverse committee embodies the strength, creativity, and resilience of women from all corners of our continent. Together, we will create a platform that amplifies voices, shares experiences, and fosters collaboration,“ the statement said.

Furthermore, „This conference will be an opportunity to address the challenges we face, showcase our successes, and empower one another. It is a call to action for gender equality, economic empowerment, and social change.

„ As we embark on this journey, let us be guided by our shared vision, which is one of unity, growth, and progress. I believe that through our collective efforts, we will make a meaningful impact on the lives of women everywhere“.

While thanking committee members for their commitment and passion, she encouraged them to create an unforgettable conference that would inspire future generations.
