A gender parity advocate, Ogochukwu Eloike, has bagged ‘The Change Maker Award’, organised by the Industry Women Conference, in Lagos. Eloike, a communications strategist and public relations professional, was listed among the top 50 industry women driving positive reforms and changes within their industry.
Being recognised by the group under the title of a change maker-gender advocacy, the organisers said the recognition highlighted her unmatched commitment and efforts towards propagating gender parity in Nigeria and across the continent.
Speaking on the award and recognition, Eloike said she has worked with different stakeholders to provide facts and insights on the negative effects of silence culture among women and how the culture affects women, families and society at large.
She said it was based on the cumulated insight that she wrote the self-help book for women called ‘Ichabod: Daughters Who Did Not Inherit Their Mothers’ Silence’.
According to her, the aim was to ensure that across all touchpoints, her team is constantly interrogating the effects of silence culture on women and proffering viable solutions to it.
Eloike, who currently works with FMN as the Corporate Communications Manager, said she is progressively working with her team of astute communications professionals in managing the group’s corporate communications unit.
