Former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde-Fashola
Former Minister of Works, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has urged women to move “beyond representation in leadership to exercising meaningful influence in governance and decision-making.”
Fashola made the call on Wednesday at the 2026 Women Directors’ Biennial Conference organised by the Women’s Group of the Chartered Institute of Directors Nigeria in Lagos.
The conference has the theme: “From Presence to Power: Advancing Women’s Influence in the Boardroom.”
He said although diversity in boardrooms had improved, the focus should now shift to “strengthening women’s capacity to influence governance and organisational outcomes.”
