 The news continues, walking up the ladder for a woman is tough because she needs to prove herself twice as much as a man and I thought they need to be recognized and celebrated. And those are the words of media executive Ms. Tonya Halliday who spoke with Plus TV News shortly after being conferred with the award of Change Maker and Innovation MTV. Correspondent Lovie Koko Iedokun captured the moment and brought back first report. It is an industrial women conference and award, an evening dedicated to recognizing and honor women who have distinguished themselves in their chosen careers. From communication, media, manufacturing, technology, health, advertising, marketing, consulting, among others, women or substance were honored. Gordy Fosey is the organizer of the industrial women conference. He speaks on the selection process. First trade is selected is selecting 50 women who have done exceedingly well this year. In media, health, tech, advertising, sustainability, marketing, and what I feel. And we also have 10 women over time that have done that have been very consistent in what their chosen fields. They have been very vocal some of them actually for the first time contested in action in an industrial that no woman has ever done. Leading the park of Awodis is a chief operating officer of New Central, Ms. Tonya Halliday. She described the industrial women as very industrious who need a little bit more in terms of opportunities. She holds strongly that the Nigerian women are doing well but their impact remain unrated. It is expected that a man walks into a room and he's going to be competent but a woman unfortunately is expected to give 120, 30, sometimes 150 depending on the industry. But then we thank God that women are coming up and especially Niger women have been recognized. Ms. Halliday described the recognition as amazing and attributed it to opportunity of what she worked. With an error fulfillment, Halliday like other awards recipients was thankful. I'm really grateful to God and to everyone and the organizers who saw it fit to nominate me. There are a lot of women doing much more than I'm doing in whatever industry they find themselves. They're doing absolutely amazing things in every sector. So I don't know why I was chosen. I'm just very grateful. A woman who dares to dream and gets up every morning and takes a step towards that dream. Keep winning. You're already winning. If you're taking that step, you are winning. Navigating live and navigating your dreams can be easy all the time but if you take one step at a time you're winning and you get there. You know when you talk about being a changemaker it's very interesting because it's a catalyst to move things that were going not in the way you wanted it to go. So for you to have been recognized it's really heartwarming and it's heartwarming for me especially because it's in an area that is near and dear to my heart and it's about empowerment of women. At least 60 women were honored at this year's edition of the industry women conference slash award. Love Ikuku Oyedokun plus TV news.
