- Ascend.
Tantacom’s Role: Building the Experience
Months before the banners went up and the hall came alive, Tantacom was already shaping the vision behind the scenes. From event design to creative direction, a 360 turnkey execution approach guided every detail. Tantacom handled experience architecture, digital channel deployment, registration systems, media coordination, and on-site execution, ensuring the summit transitioned from concept to a fully immersive movement.

• celebrating women in leadership,
• amplifying gender-inclusive governance,
• inspiring young female voices (ages 17–35), and
• delivering a transformative, movement-driven experience.
Supported by Tantacom’s creative assets, audience targeting, and digital amplification, the summit’s visibility surged across Lagos. As the website stated, “This is more than an event. It’s a generational moment.”
Day of the Summit: Voices, Vision & Voter Power
At the venue in Alausa, the stage designed and produced by Tantacom was ready. Speakers and delegates filled the hall, including the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, the national women leader of the party, and influential voices across governance.
Opening Acts & Keynote
The opening declaration by the state APC Chairman set a tone of unity and urgency. Soon after,
the keynote by Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, Minister of Women’s Affairs, reminded the
audience of the stakes:
“When a woman ascends, the whole nation rises.” Thisdaylive
She called for economic empowerment, leadership representation, and a stronger voice for
women from all walks of life.
Panel & Grassroots Engagement
Moderated by veteran broadcaster Bimbo Oloyede, the panel “Translating Power to the People” drove deep engagement across generations. Tantacom enabled seamless transitions, visual storytelling elements, and high-quality digital capture. Audience interactions through drama, spoken word, and voter activation stations formed the heartbeat of the event.
Mobilization for 2027

Post-Event: The Movement Begins
Once the final session closed, the conversations continued online. Tantacom managed post-event dissemination social reels, press coordination, and digital engagements, ensuring the summit became a movement, not a moment. With continued voter drives and community activation tasks, the energy persisted across Lagos.
Key Takeaways
- Women’s leadership is framed as central to national transformation. The theme “Arise. Aspire. Ascend.” carried dual meanings: rise personally, aim for leadership, and move upward in impact.
- Youth engagement is no longer optional; it’s strategic. With a focus on ages 17-35, the summit welcomed first-time voters and emerging civic leaders as key players.
- Mobilization has shifted from talk to action. Voter registration, political mentorship, and community circles were positioned as tools for empowerment, not mere rhetoric.
- Media & digital amplification matter. The summit leveraged print, broadcast and digital platforms to elevate visibility and embed the narrative not just among party members but across civil society.
- This is less an event, more a starting line. The summit concluded with tasks: host a listening circle by Q1 2026. Bring 10 women into mobilization. Make local networks count.
Conclusion.
Inside the Victoria Garden Event Centre, women across Lagos didn’t just attend, they aligned and activated. The APC Women’s Summit 2025, with Tantacom as the creative and execution engine behind the scenes, set a new standard for what intentional mobilization can achieve.
When vision meets structure, and when women move together with purpose, leadership becomes not an aspiration but a presence.
