W.TEC Celebrates Girls in ICT Day 2026
At the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC), celebrating girls in technology goes far beyond a single day—it represents 18 years of consistent action and commitment to closing the gender gap in STEM and ICT.
The International Girls in ICT Day is a special moment set aside to inspire girls and young women to explore education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. For W.TEC, it is also a time to reflect on progress, amplify impact, and deepen engagement across communities.
A Nationwide Movement of Inspiration
This year, W.TEC is marking the occasion with a series of impactful events across Nigeria, bringing together secondary school girls to engage with technology in exciting and meaningful ways.
Through hands-on activities, interactive sessions, and exposure to real-world opportunities, participants are encouraged to:
- Discover their potential in STEM and ICT
- Build confidence in using technology
- Explore future career pathways in innovation-driven fields
These events are designed not just to educate, but to ignite curiosity and ambition—key ingredients in shaping the next generation of female leaders in tech.
A Milestone That Drives Our Mission
Girls in ICT Day remains one of the most significant milestones in W.TEC’s annual calendar. It aligns directly with the organisation’s long-standing mission to empower girls with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to thrive in a digital world.
Over the years, this initiative has contributed to:
- Increased interest among girls in STEM subjects
- Greater awareness of career opportunities in ICT
- Stronger networks of support through mentorship and community engagement
Indeed, in this space, meaningful progress has been made—with thousands of girls reached and countless futures influenced.
Looking Ahead
As activities unfold across the country, W.TEC will continue to share updates, highlights, and stories from the field—showcasing the energy, creativity, and potential of the girls at the heart of this movement.
Gratitude and Partnership
W.TEC’s journey would not be possible without the support of partners, stakeholders, and advocates who believe in the vision of an inclusive digital future.
We are deeply grateful for your continued collaboration and commitment. Together, we are not only celebrating a day—we are building a future where every girl has the opportunity to thrive in STEM.
And as we look ahead, we remain excited about what more we can achieve—together.
