She announced that the three-day Conference will hold from Tuesday, 28th to Thursday, 30th October, 2025, at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, and is expected to attract 3,000 physical delegates and 2,000 virtual participants from across Nigeria and beyond.


Dr. Sanwo-Olu disclosed that the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, is expected to deliver the 25-year Silver Jubilee Address at the Conference, while His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State, will be the Special Guest of Honour at the Opening Ceremony, and his colleague from Sokoto State, His Excellency, Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, will grace the Closing Ceremony as Special Guest of Honour, joining the host Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. 


She noted that the participation of very important personalities and dignitaries at the event underscores COWLSO’s growing national influence and its role as a unifying platform for promoting women’s development across the country.


 “For a quarter of a century, COWLSO has stood tall as a formidable platform committed to the advancement, empowerment, and transformation of women here in Lagos and across Nigeria,” she said. “This milestone edition challenges us to reflect on our journey, celebrate our legacies, and hand the baton to the next generation of women leaders and change-makers.”


Dr. Sanwo-Olu revealed that several pre-conference activities have already commenced to extend the conference’s impact to the grassroots. These include free health screenings, environmental sanitation exercises, empowerment of vulnerable persons, and visits to orphanages and care homes.


In addition, she announced that the annual COWLSO Pre-Conference Awareness Walk will be held on Saturday, 11th October 2025, in Ikorodu, with the theme “Step Up, Show Up, Never Give Up,” with the aim of sensitising residents about the upcoming Conference and inspiring resilience among women.
