Bola Matel-Okoh is bringing Nigeria's leading women in business to The Executive Woman Summit 2.0 in Lagos this October. The event, scheduled for October 28, 2026, promises to be a key gathering for female leaders across industries.
Organised by BMO Advisory Services, the summit aims to foster connections and share insights among women at the top of their fields. While details of the programme remain under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz in professional circles.
This year's summit comes at a time when Nigerian women are making significant strides in various sectors, from science to sports. For instance, Nigerian scholar Ogechi Adeola was recently ranked among the top 10 scientists in Rwanda, and footballer Asisat Oshoala continues to shine on the continental stage. These achievements underscore the growing influence of Nigerian women globally.
The Executive Woman Summit 2.0 offers a platform for networking and mentorship, aligning with initiatives like BellaNaija's EXPAD programme, which builds leaders in the advertising industry. Such events are crucial for nurturing the next generation of female executives.
As October approaches, anticipation is building. For women in business, this summit could be a defining moment to connect, learn, and grow.
Why this matters
This summit highlights the increasing recognition of women's leadership in Nigeria's corporate landscape. It provides a rare opportunity for female executives to share experiences and strategies, potentially shaping the future of business in the country.
