About The Summit
Lagos State APC Women Summit is a bold step toward a new dawn for women in governance. Rooted in the values of elegance, unity, and empowerment, the summit showcases the extraordinary contributions of women to political life while inspiring the next generation to rise with vision and purpose. It is not just a conference but a movement, designed to position Nigerian women as true catalysts for national transformation.
Our Goals
Anchored on the theme Arise, Aspire, Ascend, the summit brings together visionary leaders, policymakers, professionals and young women to share experiences, exchange ideas and chart a path toward a more inclusive future.
Celebrating Women in Leadership
The summit seeks to recognize the outstanding contributions of women in governance and politics. It is a space to honor the resilience, vision and achievements of women whose leadership continues to shape Nigeria’s democratic and developmental journey.
Amplifying Gender Inclusive Governance
Another goal is to draw attention to the APC’s commitment to gender inclusivity. By creating public and media visibility around women in politics, the summit positions inclusiveness as a vital part of good governance and national transformation.
Inspiring the Next Generation

A New Dawn in Governance
