This is just as Mrs Fashola also advised women especially those going into politics  to be themselves, and not lose themselves to situations around them, adding “Be yourself, say it the way it is; not everybody  will like you.  But be truthful, know your limitations and love God.”

She urged women to know their desires in life and channel their energy on good things. She said women should be able to   manage their home effectively irrespective of the nature of their job saying “you must never be too tired. You must be very good  as a wife, mother and business or career woman.”

On her part, Asiwaju said women should learn how to turn unpleasant situations to their advantage. She encouraged women to network and to never give up on God and themselves. 

Asiwaju stated that she decided to bring 50 women together on her birthday to share experience, network and learn from each other.

“It had always been my dream to bring women together and share my dreams,” she said, adding that “she hoped to continue the project on a quarterly or annual basis.”
