African Women In Banking and Finance Awards

"Our women in finance are those who lend a hand to sisterhood on the flip side. The incomes of  other women need not suffer because she has to get to the summit. She is a change maker because her service and dedication helps provide solutions and helps harness the woman power and resources of non-finance women so they too can contribute their quota to economic development.

 

Our nominees obtain the true respect of colleagues around the continent because the modesty of service mindedness carries more clout than the tyranny of crisp suits and designer labels that those in the working world of money carry" - Joshua N. Obuam, Africa Editor, WIBF Magazine
