For the second consecutive year, The Ibukun Awosika Leadership Academy has successfully hosted hundreds of African women home and abroad at the International Woman Leadership Conference from March 29 to 31, 2023, the last three days of Women’s History Month.
The conference, a place of knowledge, empowerment and entertainment for the African woman, took place at the Intercontinental Hotel, Festival City, Dubai with support from the city’s Economy and Tourism Centre.
With an impressive line-up of pan-African and global speakers, the conference, over those three days, explored the theme “Against All Odds” through multiple keynotes, plenary and digging deep sessions.
After goodwill messages from the Wife of the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Samira Bawumia and the Wife of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E Dolapo Osinbajo, Nigerian entrepreneur, motivational speaker, author and convener of the conference, Ibukun Awosika set the tone for the conference with her opening speech, during which she charged attendees to take responsibility for their lives.
“The one thing you must never hand over to anyone is the remote control of your life. Have the right panel over your life and have the grace to receive criticism from this committee you have chosen,” she said.
