‘Women thrive when they are empowered to lead’ | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Thereafter, Whitbread PLC UK, which is also one of the largest companies in the hospitality sector in the UK. At both companies, I worked as a management accountant, providing sound business and financial advice and analysis to operation managers.

The EuroCham Nigeria was launched in Lagos on October 4, 2018, during the last EU-Nigeria Business Forum as European Business Organisation Nigeria. We are a private sector driven organisation founded by 19 major European companies, to represent the European business community interests in Nigeria. Today, we have over 30 members. We are also a member of the EBOWWN, connecting European business associations and Chamber of Commerce from more than 45 countries outside Europe.

I would not say it was a hard decision relocating to Nigeria; I’ve always loved and remain passionate about Nigeria. My husband moved back two years before I did, so it was easy for me to ease in as he had done all the readjusting and settling; house, transport, etc. We decided to move back because we wanted to give back; we know that Nigeria is a country with both significant challenges and immense promises.

Nigeria’s economy has such a lively array of SMEs; they form the backbone of job creation and community development, so this challenge has been serious. SMEs are not as resilient as the big companies when it comes to facing the challenges that the pandemic brought with it, hence the struggle to stay afloat financially.

So, we must do more to support women and I believe one important step is to continue the advocacy for women in fora that promote financial education. The amazing entrepreneurial spirit in our nation should take us far if we are organised. Sadly, several things need to be fixed; standards need to be established and enforced. There is a discipline that we must imbibe if we are to participate actively in trade across the continent. I think the agreement could present immense opportunities for manufacturing, logistics and service-oriented businesses in Nigeria.
