The WLI chairperson and founder, Dr. Kema Chikwe, while addressing the women in Lagos, urged them to maximise the oppurtunities of social media to promote their bussinesses.

Chikwe said, “You have to be knowledgeable in your business and in current affairs. You also have to be equipped with a working knowledge of Information and Communications Technology and social media. The WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram on your phones are not just for chatting and posting pictures.

“You should be able to leverage these social media apps to promote your business. Knowledge is the foundation of all success.”

It read in part, “Women from diverse walks of life received training in business leadership, and were exposed to leading practices, standards, processes, techniques and strategies that have been proven to enhance capacity for success in business.

“They also learnt skills in fundraising strategies and available funding opportunities; contemporary entrepreneurship leadership; creative competitive strategies; corporate governance; workplace ethics and stakeholder leadership; business finance best practices; marketing communications, branding and social media; Human Resources leadership and scale-up strategies, innovation in business, and so much more.
