The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Hajia Abibata Shanni Mahama Zakariah has said that given the strategic role of women in the socio-economic development of Ghana, MASLOC would ensure that the President’s vision of job and wealth creation was fulfilled with emphasis on women.
Women constitute over 51% of Ghana’s population but they are often marginalised and discriminated against in economic empowerment and decision making at some levels.
Abibata Shanni Mahama Zakariah was speaking on the theme: “The Transformational CEOs” on a panel discussion during the just ended 5th edition of the South America-Africa-Middle East-Asia Women Summit (SAMEAWS) organised by the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development (CELD) at the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirate (UAE).
