INTRODUCTION
The High Tech Women Organization of Nigeria (NGO) is born out of the
call to action challenge from the 3rd ICT conference held in GHANA in
March 2004 and to get women to see the need for adopting ICT as a tool
for self development and economic empowerment thereby making our nation
socially developed economically. Therefore, there is need for women
to rise up to the challenge of getting ICT fire into their bones so
that the level of mediocrity and negligence with the womenfolk will
soon be a forgotten issue.

them through research, capacity building; in Trainings, workshops and

as professionals, entrepreneurs and at whatever endeavors of life that
women get themselves involve with to sustain their prosperity.
