Womenovate is an online platform that educates and advances Nigerian women in STEM-related fields. Womenovate CEO Motunrayo Opayinka honored the program and expected increased interaction among women specialists online.

Mr Kashifu Inuva, NITDA's Director General, emphasized the necessity of women's involvement in the digital age for their growth and ICT empowerment.
