About
Women In Business Academy (WIBA) is a one-stop launch-pad platform and growing community of like-minded female student entrepreneurs (primarily undergraduates + fresh graduate/young professionals (18-35) across Africa aimed at equipping members with business education/advisory, mentorship, and capital required for business success.
WIBA’s mission is to promote an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that enables economic development by equipping female (student) entrepreneurs across Africa (beginning from Nigeria) to launch and scale businesses for employment opportunities and income generation.
WIBA started as a mentorship initiative (G7_Initiative) in 2016 which was aimed at raising emerging African female leaders through mentorships and events connecting 14 female undergraduate students(mentees) across Nigeria to seasoned professionals as mentors and reaching over 100 female students through the IMPACT conference. This mentorship initiative has now evolved into a one-stop platform and growing community of like-minded female student and youth entrepreneurs (primarily undergraduates + fresh graduate/ young professionals (18-35) across Africa but beginning from Nigeria) aimed at equipping members with business education/advisory, mentorship, and capital required for business success.
