Covenant Capital is the small and medium scale enterprise (SME) advisory arm of Covenant Christian Centre. As part of our mandate to reduce poverty in our nation, through wealth creation and empowerment we are turning our spotlight on the Female Entrepreneur in Nigeria.Over 40% of Nigerian women are entrepreneurs – the highest proportion anywhere in the world. Studies have shown that both Nigerian men and women have the same potential to run SMEs, however female entrepreneurs (more than their male counterparts) struggle in business as a result of “gender-specific” constraints such as limited access to finance, property ownership requirements, double duties (at home and at work) and cultural bias, among others.
Date: 14th, October 2017.
Time: 10am-2:30pm
Venue: The Covenant Chapel, Lekki (4th roundabout, behind Oando Filling Station)

We believe every woman deserves a chance to be successful in business therefore it is important to remove these constraints; but equally important is ensuring that the Nigerian woman is equipped with the right resources to enable her thrive despite the glaring constraints in the market place.
