  By Genesis ogiri 

Abuja, Nigeria — In a gathering that celebrated female empowerment and leadership, Ambassador Dr. Avwunudiogba Eugenia Ogechi, FCCA, ACA, FISM, and Member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), emerged as the recipient of the Leading Extraordinary Woman Award at the recent Connect Her Network Foundation conference. The event also marked the official launch of the innovative Connect Her mobile app, aimed at empowering women across Nigeria and beyond.

The ceremony attracted distinguished guests from diverse sectors, united by a common vision to elevate women’s leadership and impact. Dr. Avwunudiogba’s recognition was a highlight, inducting her into the Hall of Fame of the League of Extraordinary Women in Leadership and Impact-Making — a prestigious circle celebrating women whose resilience and commitment create lasting societal change.

While speaking with newsmen at the conference, Dr. Avwunudiogba lauded Ambassador Victoria Ogwuche Ojiah, the visionary initiator and brain behind the Connect Her mobile app, describing the platform as “timely and impactful.” She urged participants to fully leverage the app’s capabilities to enhance connectivity, mentorship, and collaboration among women.

According to Dr. Avwunudiogba, the mission of women’s empowerment goes far beyond meeting immediate challenges or personal gains. “We are here to make an impact that transcends the moment,” she explained, “to build legacies that will inspire generations yet unborn. Leaving our footprints on the sands of time means focusing on sustainable change, creating opportunities, and nurturing growth that lasts well beyond our own lifetimes. True empowerment is about lifting others as we rise, ensuring that our progress echoes through the lives of many.”

In her statement, Dr. Avwunudiogba praised Ambassador Victoria Ogwuche Ojiah for her visionary leadership in creating the Connect Her app, highlighting how the platform will empower women to connect on a global scale. She emphasized that Ambassador Ogwuche’s initiative is breaking down barriers and building bridges, enabling women from diverse backgrounds to share valuable resources, access mentorship, and seize opportunities beyond borders. This innovative platform is set to foster collaboration and amplify the collective impact of women worldwide.

Dr. Avwunudiogba’s journey is emblematic of determination and versatility. From her beginnings as an agriculture graduate, she pivoted to chartered accountancy, specializing in taxation—a field where she now commands significant expertise. Speaking at the conference, she shared an intimate glimpse into her path: studying accounting courses from home while nursing her child, demonstrating the power of resilience in the face of challenges.

Ambassador Avwunudiogba’s message serves as an inspiring blueprint for women striving to break barriers and redefine success. Through initiatives like the Connect Her Network, women are not only connecting but collectively building a future where empowerment is shared, legacies are forged, and communities uplifted.

Her story resonated deeply with the ethos of Connect Her Network — a platform dedicated to nurturing and amplifying women’s voices, ambitions, and successes. “We are here to make an impact that transcends the moment,” Dr. Avwunudiogba told attendees. “Leaving our footprints on the sands of time means building legacies, not just fulfilling immediate needs.”

A passionate mentor, she actively coaches women on business growth, financial discipline, and goal setting, encouraging them to embrace long-term vision over short-term gains. Her mentorship aligns closely with the Connect Her Network’s mission to foster sustainable empowerment through knowledge, technology, and community.

Beyond her professional credentials as a Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Management and a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, Dr. Avwunudiogba also serves as a UN Global Ambassador for Women Empowerment, where she leverages her influence to advocate for gender equality on a global scale.

The Connect Her Network Foundation’s launch of its mobile app underscores a significant step in bridging gaps for women—providing a digital platform for networking, mentorship, and resource sharing. With leaders like Dr. Avwunudiogba at the forefront, the movement is poised to create waves of transformation across Nigeria and beyond.

Ambassador Dr. Eugenia Avwunudiogba’s recognition at the Connect Her Network conference underscores the importance of sustained female leadership and empowerment in Nigeria. Her story, intertwined with the launch of the Connect Her app, highlights how innovative platforms combined with strong role models can accelerate women’s socio-economic progress.
