The award event which took place at Sheba Centre, Lagos Nigeria was organized by The Industry Women Conference spearheaded by the veteran journalist, Mr. Goddie Ofose. Through the event, notable industry stakeholders and key players were also recognized and celebrated for their various contributions to their industries of practice.

Speaking on the award and recognition, she stated “It is an honor and an applaudable feat to be recognized for your value addition to society. Over the years, I have worked with different stakeholders to provide facts and insights on the negative effects of silence culture amongst women and how this culture affects women, families, and society at large. It is also based on the cumulated insight that I wrote the powerful self-help book for women called Ichabod: Daughters Who Did Not Inherit Their Mothers’ Silence. The aim is to ensure that across all our touchpoints, we are constantly interrogating the effects of silence culture on women and proffering viable solutions to it. I honor Mr. Goddie Ofose for providing a platform where women can be celebrated for the value they add to society.”
