It was a moment that stirred both admiration and emotion as the Managing Director/CEO, Executive Hotel and Suites, Dr. Ajoke Olufunmilola Ogunsan delivered a Keynote Speech that resonated deeply with over 1,000 women gathered at the Multi-Woman Conference which held today Saturday 18th April, 2026 in Lagos. More than delivering the speech, Dr. Mrs. Ogunsan sparked a movement.
From the outset, her message was clear, bold, urgent, and inspiring. “Let us unleash excellence in our professions, unleash audacity in our ambitions, and unleash healing in our hearts,” she charged, her voice carrying the weight of conviction. “The future is not waiting for permission. It is waiting for people bold enough to unleash their greatness. May we be those people.”
In a defining highlight of the well attended conference, Dr. Ajoke Ogunsan returned to the stage during the unveiling of the new edition of the Multi-Woman magazine and made an unexpected announcement. She declared that every woman in attendance should receive a copy of the newly launched Multi-Woman Magazine, fully sponsored by her. The hall erupted in applause and excitement while the Convener of the conference, Mrs. Mary Ayuba, became emotional in pleasant shock, in tears of joy and appreciated the woman she regarded as “her godmother.”
As the excitement settled, Dr. Mrs. Ogunsan reiterated the significance of the gesture, “We are women. We must support other women. This is women supporting women,” she declared.
This kind gesture goes beyond rhetoric but became a living demonstration of collective upliftment in which leadership was not merely spoken, but practiced as well as transforming a powerful idea into a tangible act of generosity.
For several attendees, this kind gesture was more than a gift but a passionate call for them to embody the very ethos of the gathering which is to rise, to support, and to build together.
Earlier in her keynote address on the conference theme, “Unleash: Unlocking New Levels of Excellence, Audacity, Success and Healing,” Dr. Mrs. Ogunsan highlighted the pivotal role women have historically played as “architects of society,” shaping values, nurturing leadership, and driving transformation both within and beyond the home. “Excellence has no gender, competence has no gender, vision has no gender, and leadership also has no gender,” she declared, drawing applause.
She reinforced her message by spotlighting notable Nigerian women such as the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen. Oluremi Shade Tinubu; the President of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Mo Abudu; Nike Davies Okundaye; Dr. Ola Orekunrin Brown among other women whose audacity has reshaped institutions and global narratives.
Drawing from her personal journey as a gospel music minister, entrepreneur, and convener of a Christian Gospel Talent Quest and Concert tagged Symphony of Praise and Worship (SPAW), Ogunsan known in the music scene as Dr. Ajokesings shared how audacity shaped her path.
“My audacity in creating a Christian Gospel Talent Quest, where upcoming Christian gospel music rising stars are discovered, nurtured, and supported in their music careers, is one example among many. It is a platform born out of the belief that when opportunities are created, destinies can be unlocked and voices that might otherwise remain unheard can be given a stage,” she said.
“As a mother, a wife, a singer, a songwriter, and an entrepreneur, I have also demonstrated and I am still unlocking new levels of audacity in the various fields I operate in. Women possess the unique capacity to multitask, and I tell you today, that in itself is a superpower. I do not believe that anything is impossible because with God, all things are possible.”
The Multi-Woman Conference also featured a line-up of speakers including Nollywood actor, Juliana Olayode; psychiatrist Dr. Adeola Adeyemi; academic Dr. Tosin Ayanleke; producer, voices with Victoria, Victoria Nduka; fintech product leader, Praise Agbonighale; and the head of accounts, Baobab Nigeria, Mercy Obasi-Jude. The event was moderated by communication coach, Jadesola Adewonu. Mr. and Mrs. Ogundimu, the parents of the convener, Mrs. Mary Ayuba, were also present among dignitaries who attended the event.
