Bisi Adeyemi emphasized the organization’s commitment to highlighting Nigerian entrepreneurs and working closely with the High Commission through its various export support initiatives. She remarked, “Our robust network of female-led businesses across various sectors is strategically positioned to capitalize on international trade opportunities between Nigeria and the UK to foster prosperity in both nations.” She further advocated for increased representation of women on international corporate boards, stating, “We have a substantial pool of qualified and board-ready women for organizations looking to diversify their governance teams.”
