In a powerful display of their commitment to gender equality and inclusivity, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) have announced that the inaugural edition of the Gender Leader Awards (GLA) will be headlined by two distinguished figures:

Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Executive Governor of Lagos State, and His Royal Highness, the 14th Emir of Kano, Khalifa Mohammed Sanusi II.

The GLA, which is being implemented under the Nigeria2Equal (N2E) program, will take place on Thursday, 15 June 2023, at 5 pm (WAT) in Lagos.

The Gender Leader Awards are designed to recognize and celebrate private sector companies that are leading the charge in promoting gender equality.

IFC is proud to partner with NGX on the Nigeria2Equal program and on this important awards, which underscore IFC’s ongoing commitment to equal opportunities for both men and women in Nigeria’s private sector.”

We recognize private sector organizations that have demonstrated exceptional performance in advancing gender-focused initiatives.
