The Presidency has said it is giving 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 the agenda, the Presidential Committee on Economic and Financial Inclusion (PreCEFI) in 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 to 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.
Speaking Monday when he led delegation of the President Committee on Economic and Financial Inclusion (PreCEFI), on a courtesy visit to the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, Technical Adviser to the President on Economic and Financial Inclusion, Dr. Nurudeen Zauro, said the summit will mark a decisive transition from policy conversations to practical implementation.
He said the inaugural edition in 2025 culminated in the adoption of the Aso Accord, which committed stakeholders to advancing women’s economic and financial inclusion through coordinated action, adding that the 2026 edition would focus on translating those commitments into measurable results.
