On March 8, 2024, Legit.ng made a significant impact by partnering with the Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja to support the celebration of International Women’s Day. This collaboration not only highlighted the achievements of women but also emphasized the importance of inclusion in all facets of life. The event, themed "Inspire Inclusion," aimed to motivate women from various backgrounds to come together, share their stories, and advocate for greater representation in the corporate world.
The conference was held for the first time in Congress Hall of the hotel, where over 300 women gathered to engage with one another and empower themselves. This gathering served as a platform to network, share experiences, and uplift each other, reinforcing the idea that when women support women, everyone benefits.
Key stakeholders attended the event, including Dupe Olusola, MD/CEO of Transcorp Hotels PLC, who delivered the keynote address. Other notable figures included Honourable Minister Iman Sulaiman-Ibrahim and prominent entrepreneurs, all of whom contributed to discussions on diversity and inclusion.
Legit.ng’s Public Relations Manager, Catherine Tomosori, expressed pride in being part of such a transformative moment. She highlighted the media's role in bridging the diversity gap and ensuring women have a voice in decision-making processes. This commitment to diversity and inclusion aligns with Legit.ng’s ongoing support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, which promotes gender equality.
In addition to raising awareness for International Women’s Day, Legit.ng continues to engage in numerous initiatives that support women and youth empowerment, such as partnerships with organizations focusing on gender-based violence and period poverty. These efforts demonstrate Legit.ng's dedication to creating a more inclusive society where every individual can thrive.
By participating in these initiatives, Legit.ng not only showcases the stories of remarkable women but also encourages future generations to strive for greatness and break barriers. As the event concluded, attendees left inspired and motivated, ready to take on new challenges and support one another in their journeys.
