A major initiative aimed at strengthening women-led investments in education is set to take centre stage in Abuja as the 2026 Women-Led Education and Social Enterprise Impact Summit prepares to spotlight 131 women education entrepreneurs whose schools are contributing to learning opportunities in communities across Nigeria.

The summit, organised by the Centre for Educational Empowerment and Orientation (CEEO Nigeria) in partnership with the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), will bring together policymakers, development partners, financiers, corporate leaders and education stakeholders to explore ways of supporting women driving educational development at the grassroots.
