SHE MAGNATE PROJECTThe She Magnate Project is a project that was organized with focus on ladies between the ages of 18 and 25 years. This edition of the She Magnate Project (the “Project” or “SMP”) is its maiden edition. The purpose of this Project was to instill the spirit of leadership and entrepreneurship in the 21st century female youth. This project is in response to the group’s assertion that females are key players and very influential in society.

The project commenced on January 15, 2015 and was held every fortnight. The venues for the meeting were rotated from place to place to suit the purpose or theme of every session. The project attracted ladies between the ages of 18 and 25 years, who were trained on various areas such as business, career, public speaking among others.

The project was climaxed with a conference dubbed “ She Magnate Conference”. The project served as a platform for the participants to showcase the skills they have acquired over the period.
