As the world celebrates International Women’s Day 2026, Nigerian entrepreneur and gender equality advocate, Grace Ometere Ayoola, has urged women to embrace leadership and contribute actively to national development.
Ayoola, the Chief Executive Officer of Trash Movers Nigeria Limited and founder of TAT Fragrance Nigeria, said the occasion provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while reinforcing the need for greater inclusion.
She noted that women play a vital role in shaping families, communities, and economies, stressing that their participation in leadership and entrepreneurship must continue to expand.
According to her, empowering women is not only a matter of equality but also a catalyst for social and economic transformation.
Ayoola therefore encouraged women to remain resilient and confident in their abilities, regardless of the challenges they may face.
She added that the continued advancement of women depends largely on education, economic participation, and supportive policies that create equal opportunities for all.
