She observed that multi-stakeholders’ cooperation is needed to develop tools and policies that support national and international efforts with an effective sharing of best practices to address digital gender disparities.

In his welcome address, the Vice Chancellor of FUTA, Prof Joseph Fuwape described the First Lady as a mother who is always passionate about things that impact on the female gender and drives digital and eco system across the state.

In his speech, the Executive Director of Akure Tech Hub, Mr Abraham Akpan, explained that Hernovation is the umbrella project of the Akure Tech Hub for the empowerment and development of women and girls in the state.

The goal of Hernovate, according to him is to bridge the digital and socio-economic divide against women, thereby promoting inclusion and development as he added that the project is targeted at reaching 500,000 women and girls by 2025.
