Hear her: "...I have been in media/pr formally for about 20 years beginning with my random NYSC posting to the 31 Field Artillery Brigade where I worked as an Assistant to the Army Public Relations Officer in 1997. Thereafter life took me to DBN Television and then to Super Screen TV where I was Head of the Programmes Department. As part of my journey, I worked as Head of Client Services and Business Development Manager with TQC, a foremost PR company. I have been fortunate to attend workshops, trainings, conferences and tours locally and globally as delegate or speaker in Nigeria, USA, Greece, Brazil, South Africa and Jerusalem to mention a few.
This workshop by leading ladies in media is to fill the dearth of well trained and qualified media women in private and public spheres. I have been running media workshops for years. I started with children; today a number of those trained have a career in media, advertising and business. I initiated and facilitated NAWOJ's first workshop as part of ACE 4.0 Project. I have done mentoring for a number of media women but now wish to start a media training that will eventually grow into a media conference for women as a catalyst to moving women up the media ladder as influencers towards fielding them in the top echelon of national and political development. I see possibilities in the coming together for a divine purpose to enable women grow impact, influence and income.
