Mrs Adeniji Adeboye, Head of HNI, Enterprise Business Group at Globacom, who represented the company at the event called on schools girls not to be discouraged in the pursuit of their dreams as “persistence drives success” in all human endeavour.

The event which featured quiz competition, roundtable discussions and presentations was attended by sixteen schools from Lagos and Ogun states as well as representatives of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), leading ICT companies and policy makers.
