In various regions of Nigeria, especially in the Northeast, there is a notable gender gap in access to technology, leadership opportunities, and entrepreneurship.
Women constitute only 22% of Nigeria's STEM workforce, highlighting a significant gender disparity in the technology sector.
Only 47% of girls in Northern Nigeria are enrolled in secondary school, compared to 69% of boys.
Bridging the gender gap in STEM and leadership could potentially contribute an additional $28 trillion to the global GDP by 2025.
