“Research shows that 58% of small and medium-sized business (SMB) entrepreneurs in Africa are women,” says Mojolaoluwa Aderemi-Makinde, Head Brand and Reputation, Africa – Google. “Despite this, women-run businesses show, on average, 34% lower profits than those run by their male counterparts. They are also less likely to receive funding and investment. This is why we are announcing a series of initiatives today, aimed at providing the support women need to grow their businesses.”
The Executive Secretary, Lagos State Employment Trust Fund, Teju Abisoye, announced this in a statement issued Wednesday, saying that the training would help the participants to thrive in their businesses.

According to a statement by the organizers, #CodeCamp focuses not only coding, but on equipping young people with the belief, ability and essential leadership skills to be able to lead the pack in the emerging fast-growing digital economy.
