Congratulations to @Jael and the team on this fantastic news! Wishing you great success.

Dear friends,

 Wikimedia UG Nigeria is excited to share our International Women's Day (IWD) 2025 plans with the African community.

This year's IWD/WikiGap 2025 holds special significance for us, especially with the incredible support we receive across our ecosystem. In light of this, we have planned a three-day in-person event dedicated to celebrating the remarkable achievements of Nigerian women.

• Day 1 & Day 2: Focused on capacity development, we will train women from our partner organizations ' networks, equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive.
• Day 3: A high-level symposium chaired by Her Excellency Annika Hahn-Englund, the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria, Ghana, and ECOWAS. This will take place at Nordic Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, featuring distinguished Nigerian women from the banking sector, civil society, and government agencies, discussing the theme "Accelerate Action."

The Swedish Embassy in Nigeria, Nordic Hotel, Women FM 91.7FM, and the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists partly support this event.

To conclude, WikiGap 2025 will culminate in a major press briefing featuring Her Excellency, the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria, alongside representatives from our partner organizations. The briefing will highlight their ongoing commitment to supporting Nigerian women since the launch of WikiGap Nigeria in 2019. Several leading Nigerian media houses have already confirmed their participation.

The event is documented on the Celebrate Women page and WikiGap 2025 in Nigeria on Meta for more details.

We look forward to an impactful celebration!

Best regards,

Amb Olushola Olaniyan
