According to the Head Coordinator,
WEEC, Kayode Odukoya, “Our strategy is to target developing growing ladies with
the possibilities of catching them young, educating and preparing them for
later life. Actualizing their economic
potentials with a new mindset is key to increasing the overall productivity in
small units of the society. We are saddled with the sole responsibility of
helping female individuals so they can strive to the best in any chosen career.”
The discussions and topics at the Women
Empowerment and Enlightenment Campaign bordered around creativity, intelligence
breeding, creating opportunities, packaging and the need for unique women in
our society. The interactive platform also created an avenue for students (male
and female) from different disciplines to air their views and share uncommon experiences
with top industry players across entertainment, broadcasting and social media to
mention a few.
WEEC is a product of On’y va
Communications, a public relations and content development agency based in
