Some of the topics covered by different speakers include “Hindrances to succeeding in careers in Mathematics” by Dr. (Mrs.) Chinwendu E. Madubueze, “Career opportunities in Mathematics for female and how to achieve them" by Miss. Deborah Kanubala, “Relevant attitudes and qualities for a successful career in Mathematics” by Dr. (Mrs.) Queensley C. Chukwudum, “Building the bridges to achieve a higher number of female researchers in Mathematics” by Prof. (Mrs.) D. O. Makinde, and the experience sharing session which was coordinated by Dr. (Mrs.) Helen Edogbanya.
