The Nigeria Association of Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture Business Women Group (NAWORG) have been trained on public procurement and business development.
The training programme tagged “Positioning Southwest Women Owned Businesses for Public Procurement” was facilitated by Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) through a Federal Government initiative, Export Expansion Facility Program (EEFP).
The Director-General of Odu’a Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ODU’ACCIMA) Mr. David Awotipe said the training was aimed at sensitising women drawn from southwest states on how to improve, prepare and participate in public procurement.
Awotipe said the organised private sector in Southwest recognises the significant contributions of women in business to the economic development of the region and that the training will further encourage them to do more.
