The event, held on Sunday at Wells Carlton Hotel & Apartment in Asokoro, Abuja, brought together 50 distinguished women leaders from various sectors, celebrating their impact and contributions to society.
Honouring Leadership and Advocacy
Tagged the “Her Excellence Conference & Award 2026”, the ceremony celebrated women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, resilience, and commitment to community development. Hon. Ivie Adidi, renowned for her advocacy for women and youth empowerment, was recognised alongside 49 other female icons for her significant contributions to national discourse and political engagement.
