Presidency Targets Women’s Wealth Creation, To End Era of ‘Career Beneficiaries’

* To hold She’sIncluded 2026 Summit on acceleration of women’s economic empowerment, deepened financial inclusion

The Presidency has said it is gifting its social intervention focus towards sustainable women’s wealth creation and grassroots economic inclusion with a view to ending reliance on traditional, temporary handouts.

To advance that agenda, the Presidential Committee on Economic and Financial Inclusion (PreCEFI), under the Office of the Vice-President, in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs, will host the She’sIncluded 2026 Summit, a high-level platform designed to accelerate women’s economic empowerment, deepen financial inclusion and unlock inclusive national growth.

The two-day summit, scheduled for August 19 and 20, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, will bring together senior government officials, regulators, development partners, financial institutions, private sector leaders and international stakeholders to develop practical strategies for expanding economic opportunities for Nigerian women.

It reaffirmed its commitment of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to place women at the centre of Nigeria’s economic transformation, saying the era of treating women merely as beneficiaries of government interventions must give way to one that empowers them as wealth creators, investors and business owners.
