ASF Africa empowers women to bridge gender gap in tech

At the “Transitioning to Tech for Women” program’s gala finale, which is set for January 15 at The Mike Adenuga Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, 10 women will each get N1 million grant. The event’s organiser, ASF Africa, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

According to Peter Dingba, CEO of ASF Africa, the initiative was created to help close the gender gap in the digital sector by giving women the technical know-how and business savvy they need.
