IN HONOR OF HER EXCELLENCY DAME(DR.) PATIENCE GOODLUCK JONATHAN

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the National Council of Women’s Societies of Nigeria (NCWS), the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in DC and the State of Illinois Office of Trade & Investment, is hosting the Nigerian Women Empowerment Award Dinner in honor of Her Excellency, DAME (DR.) PATIENCE GOODLUCK JONATHAN, First Lady of Nigeria and the Leadership Workshop Conference.

We expect about 150 Nigerian women civil and business leaders and visiting dignitaries to participate in this event. Also the National Council of Women’s Societies in Diaspora (NCWSD) will be launched at the event. This occasion provides a great opportunity to promote business and trade relations between U.S and Nigerian women’s leadership. This will also enhance understanding between Nigeria and the Chicagoland region and ultimately improve the quality of life for the citizens of our nations in the future. Local government leaders and business officials will be invited to attend the Award Dinner and the Award Luncheon to celebrate the partnership and cooperation.
