 Hansatsu Adegbiter is the Executive Director of Women in Management, Business and Public Service, Wimbis, while Bisi Adeyemi, Chairman of both of the trustees, Wimbis, did well speak to journalists on the sideline of the events expressing excitement about the theme of the 2024 IWD. This year's theme, Inspire Inclusion, is sincerely what women in management, business and public service, Wimbis has been doing for the past 23 years. It is about inspiring women, empowering them to attain leadership positions in business, in management and in public service. And so it's about empowering them to be economically empowered, empowering them to be leaders in their various sectors and industry, and empowering them to have a voice. And so, inspiring inclusion is what Wimbis is already known for. Business is how to inspire more women. And we do this by bringing women who are accomplished in their careers to come and tell other women how they have done it. And we do this in so many ways. We have a mentoring programme because it's not enough to just come and talk about inspiring, but you have to optionally have a formal programme. So we have formal programmes where we mentor younger people in their careers and professions and of course in entrepreneurship as well. Ongazi āyek mūnā believes that women must show that they are available so that it can be included. Those women who have been placed in that position, what results have they delivered? Because if women are doing extremely well, it will encourage governments to use more of us. But if the performance is abysmal, then they'd wonder was it worth it? So it's left for us to prove that the responsibility given to us that we're able to carry it out satisfactorily. These women say they have indeed been fired up for inclusivity roles in their workplace. It was a great day to spend my IWD moment with Wimbis. I'm taking away a lot from this meeting today. First off, in my workplace, in my social life, in my social circles, I'm going to be intentional about looking for ways to include other women, other young girls. And of course we will try to include the other sexes as well. Be more intentional, be more understanding. Take home from the program today is to be more intentional to be able to mentor young ladies. Funny enough is what I do already because I believe that if you encourage a young lady, if you are there for them, support them, just like I have mentors as well, female mentors, I want to be more intentional to ensure that we are there for them, and that everybody has an opportunity to be at the table. As a message of inclusivity reverberates across the world, these women strongly hold that a lot of difference can be made when they come together, share and speak with one voice.
