While speaking about the workshop, Ojemudia said “Statistics show that women constitute a significant chunk of the demography of African continent with population of approximately 691 million.

“Out of this population, a critical chunk are professionals, including those operating in the Insurance Industry. From these records, coupled with the renewed acceleration of the number of women taking up careers in the professions, the hope of the continent would only be brighter if the female gender is factored into considerations for strategic positions in governance and policy making across the continent.”
