The award recognizes and celebrates both known and unsung women doing commendable and high impact work in different fields through their positions. One woman from each sector will be awarded based on specific criterion deliberated by a panel.
The Founder, Nkem Onwudiwe speaking on the idea behind the theme for this year – ‘Her Year of Greatness’- stated “The path of greatness has already been paved for us; we just have to be courageous enough to walk in it so we chose to use this tag as a call to action for women to step into their greatness, unapologetically”.
