Empowering Women, Fueling Prosperity

My dear friends, great women of our country and indeed all Nigerian Citizens, I welcome you to the Official Women in Trade Platform. A digital hub that will connect our women involved in any form of trade activity, in Nigeria and indeed anywhere in the world. In line with the mandate of His Excellency, the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we have developed this platform with three key things in mind - Women Empowerment, Family Prosperity, and Economic Growth. An empowered woman brings great value to herself, her family, community and indeed the whole nation.
Being a member comes with huge benefits. On this platform, you can showcase your business and trade, you can connect with others, you will have access to relevant information to move you and your business forward and importantly, we can reach you more easily at any time. You will also have access to a learning hub, where you can take short lessons about business and earn certificates. We are building the Nigeria of our dreams and the task ahead needs all of us to come together and work together. My Ministry will continue to develop various initiatives that support women to grow trade, industries and create wealth. This is just the beginning. Register today and become a part of history as we unveil the Nigerian Women in Trade Digital Hub.

The Nigerian Women in Trade (N-WiT) is a flagship project is a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing the economic empowerment of women engaged in various forms of trade. About 40% of Nigerian women work in trade, according to the National Bureau of Statistics and International Trade Centre; a higher proportion of these women work in agriculture, while the other well-known sectors are retail, manufacturing, services, creative industries, and ICT.
We recognize the invaluable role that women play in local and international trade and seek to provide them with the necessary tools, resources, and support to succeed in the business world.
