Nigerian Celebrities Lead the Charge for Women’s Economic Empowerment

The Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) policy is a government-backed initiative aimed at promoting gender equality in the economic sphere by providing women with equal access to opportunities, resources, and leadership roles in business. This policy seeks to remove the barriers that limit women's financial growth and participation in the economy, empowering them to reach their full potential.

At SkillHer, we commend Nigerian celebrities like Adesua Etomi-wellington, Jemima Osunde, Tomike Adeoye, Folu Storms, Ini Dima-Okojie, Maryam Bukar and Osasu Igbinedion Ogwuche who are fervently championing the adoption of the WEE policy at the state level across Nigeria. These influential figures are raising awareness about the need to empower women economically and urging the government to prioritize policies that create a more inclusive economy. Through public campaigns and social media advocacy, they are helping women break free from financial dependency and take on leadership roles in various industries.

Their advocacy is especially important in addressing the systemic issues that have historically limited women’s access to funding, business opportunities, and leadership positions. By lending their voices to the WEE policy, these celebrities are not only amplifying the message of gender equality but also pushing for structural changes that support women in business.

SkillHer shares in this vision and remains committed to empowering women through capacity-building and skill development, ensuring that every woman can thrive in any industry. We celebrate these celebrities for using their platforms to inspire a new generation of women leaders and entrepreneurs.

Together, with such powerful advocates, we can build a future where women are not just participants but leaders in Nigeria’s economic development.
