In the new executive committee with Monye are Mrs. Izabella Abia-Okon (Vice President), Ms. Tita Young (immediate past President), Mrs. Ego Boyo (ex-officio) and Mrs. Nkiru Anumudu (ex-officio).

IWS Nigeria was founded in 1957 by a group of Nigerian and international women in Lagos for the empowerment of indigent women and children. Over the decades, society has championed various charity causes and continues to play a vital role in the area of charity and community service.

In her inauguration speech, Mrs. Monye, a partner at Ciuci Consulting and Co-CEO at Lufudo Group, who has been a member of IWS Nigeria for 20 years, said: “IWD typifies the essence of the women of IWS. Women, who, for 65 years, have tirelessly helped those in need. It is on the shoulders of these women I stand today, not on my own merit but on their work, dedication, sweat, wisdom and legacy.”
