#CareerGoals
For decades, women have powered Nigeria yet remain missing where decisions are made.
Today, women make up just 4.5% of the National Assembly, lead only 41 of 811 local governments, and chair 5 of the 50 biggest corporate boards. Half the population. A fraction of the power.
That’s what MsRepresented 2025 is here to change. Because this is not about favour. It’s about fairness, policy, and power.
Here’s how to be a part of this:

The significance of women in leadership roles cannot be overstated, and the manner in which we lead is pivotal. Throughout this panel at the #EastAfricaLiftOff, we've witnessed the transformative influence of allyship, alliances, and sisterhood in fostering effective leadership.
"Unlearning is essential for male allies to effectively support women's causes. Women, regardless of gender or generation, should stand as allies to one another.
Grasping generational nuances necessitates ongoing learning, re-learning, and unlearning."
~ @abosedea; Founder, WILAN
