Business and Professional Women Nigeria (BPW) is set to host its Annual National Convention in Abuja with the theme “Women and Nigerian Politics; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”.
The conference is scheduled for the 8th of November, 2019 and will hold at Chida Hotels, Utako, Abuja. The event, which brings members and dignitaries from all walks of life, would create an opportunity to bring to the front burner, salient and topical issues relating to women.
According to the organisation’s national president, Yinka Ajibola, this year’s event will focus on getting more women interested in mainstream politics as well as x-ray the challenges facing women in politics.

“Generally, we find that women are not fully engaged in the art of politics. There are arguments as to the underlying reasons. The crux of the matter is that we have not started to participate in a significant and meaningful way and the few times that we have done, the results are abysmal”.
Ajibola further explained that impacting on the lives of women and the society in general is something the organisation is passionate about. “Consequently, we feel that as an organisation whose primary focus is “WOMEN”, we shall begin in no small measure, the process of sensitising women on this critical aspect of our human existence.”
She adds: “We hope that during the conference, there would be multiple opportunities to address some of the critical issues and begin to push for more participation from women on all fronts”.
