As part of its mandate to promote enterprise and innovation in Nigeria, Konga Communications, was on ground to document a first-of-its-kind breakfast session of alumni of the London School of Economics (LSE), held here in Lagos, Nigeria. Facilitated by the MD of Task Systems, Gozy Ijogun, the event brought together top business and academic leaders for a Women Business Leaders Breakfast, a powerful conversation centered on inclusivity and the impact of women in leadership.
Held in March to mark International Women’s Month, the gathering was intimate yet electric, creating a platform for meaningful dialogue, mentorship, and collaboration among women shaping the future of business across Africa. At the heart of the event was Gozy Ijogun, CEO of Task Systems, whose passion for building community among women in business was the driving force behind the gathering.
“It was important to build a strong network of support for women in business,” she shared and the room she assembled was proof of that conviction.
A major highlight of the morning was a fireside chat between Gozy Ijogun, and global leader Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, a conversation that was candid, warm, and deeply relatable. From navigating the realities of leadership as a woman, to the quiet power of consistency and the non-negotiable role of self-belief, the exchange left the room both moved and motivated.
Dr. Paroma Bhattacharya, spoke to LSE’s vision and intention behind bringing this event to life, a commitment to building communities where women’s leadership is not just celebrated, but deliberately nurtured. Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, addressed the persistent gender gap in business head-on, calling for deliberate, intentional action to create more opportunities for women, not someday, but now.
Larry Kramer, President and Vice Chancellor of LSE, delivered a message that resonated deeply across the room, that no society can truly thrive without empowering its women, and that LSE remains firmly committed to promoting inclusivity through its academic programs. Ema Clark, Leadership and Career Coach, rounded things off with a grounded, practical perspective, acknowledging the real challenges women face in leadership while affirming that with the right support systems, women don’t just survive, they excel.
Adding further depth to the conversation were two distinguished industry leaders whose presence elevated the room and reinforced the event’s central theme of intentional leadership and sustainable growth. Leo Stan Ekeh, Founder and Chairman of Zinox Technologies, brought a seasoned entrepreneur’s lens to the discussion, sharing valuable insights on what it truly takes to build sustainable businesses in today’s 21st-century, tech-driven world. Innovation, adaptability, and long-term vision, he stressed, are not optional extras they are critical pillars for any business serious about success in the modern economy.
Equally compelling was the contribution of Chioma Ekeh, CEO of TD Africa, who spoke powerfully on the intersection of personal and organizational leadership. Her message was direct and deeply resonant, women must take full ownership of their growth journeys while simultaneously driving meaningful impact within the organizations they lead. Accountability, resilience, and intentional self-positioning, she emphasized, are the hallmarks of women who don’t just occupy leadership roles, but truly define them. Together, the Ekeh duo brought a rare blend of entrepreneurial authority and purposeful leadership to a room already brimming with inspiration.
Attendees also took part in a standout interactive session: “One Ask, One Offer” a format where each participant came with something they needed and something they could give. Simple, intentional, and powerful, it turned the room into a living mentorship network.
