The Convener, Women Entrepreneurship Workshop (WEW), Ngozi Enite-Okoro, says the Women Entrepreneurship Workshop is a transformational space that will not just enable women build enterprises but build legacy businesses.
Enite-Okoro stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Abuja.
According to her, when women come together to learn, the expectation is often inspiration and motivation.
“But the WEW is more than a motivational platform, it is a transformational space where women take real, practical steps to move their businesses from passion projects to fully compliant, scalable, and investment-ready enterprises.
“Since inception, WEW has achieved verifiable results.
“More than 25 CAC business registrations have been completed, over 28 trademarks filed, multiple NAFDAC approvals secured, and at least 5 public analysis certificates issued to women-led brands.
“These are not abstract statistics; they are real businesses, run by real women who are now positioned for growth.
“The WEW has the capacity to enable women, not to only build enterprises but businesses with legacies that the future generations will benefit from,” Enite-Okoro said.
Enite-Okoro, who is also an award-winning Leadership Coach and Entrepreneur, further explained that the curriculum covered step-by-step NAFDAC registration processes tailored to MSMEs and SMEs and Public analysis certification guidance, a crucial step in product approval.
Others are Intellectual property rights, ensuring women protect what they create, Branding and packaging standards that meet global shelf requirements and Marketing and customer service strategies that drive sales and growth.
According to her, this combination makes WEW a bridge between women’s passion and regulatory approval, between their ideas and the global market.
“From testimonies of beneficiaries like Prof. Yetunde Isimi, CEO of Kikaboni Organics Cosmetics; Nenlap Bello, Consultant Pharmacist and CEO of Mutabell Agro and Allied Products Ltd and many others, WEW is on track.
“WEW proves that when women are given the right tools, not just encouragement, they build compliant, credible, and competitive enterprises.
“The future of women-led businesses is not in the shadows of informality. It is in regulation, compliance, and legacy—and WEW is where that journey begins,” Enite-Okoro stressed.
