She said such a mind must display managerial, leadership, team-building and communication skills.
According to Thenationonlineng, She spoke during a virtual mentorship programme with female engineering students across campuses organised by the Abeokuta Chapter of the Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria with the theme “Female Students in Engineering Discipline: Challenges and Prospects,” where she admonished female engineering undergraduates never to give up on their dreams.
