Her Opportunity Story
Her Opportunity Story spotlights Nigerian women who have landed transformative opportunities and provides detailed insights for other Nigerian women who would be applying to the same or similar opportunities.
Among others, we’ve shared Precious Ozegbe’s story of landing an internship at the World Bank. We’ve also shared Nabila Okino’s journey to the fully-funded Fletcher School Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion at Tufts University. We are excited to continue sharing inspiring stories of Nigerian women through Her Opportunity Story in 2024.

Hot tip: Sis, asking questions is great. But you need to be able to see for yourself. You can’t afford to be living your life based on what other people have told you. For example: You want to japa. Are you only relying on the information you’ve found on Instagram or through an agent? You’ve got to do your own research, form your own opinions, and think for yourself, sis. Learn more in last week’s amazing session with Bukola Omokehinde. Watch here.
