5 women joined the league of winners in the prestigious Standard Chartered Women in Technology Incubator programme (SC-WITI) in Nigeria. Chief Executive Officer, Lamin Manjang announced the winners from the 3rd cohort of the program at the graduation ceremony in Lagos earlier today, IgbereTV reports.

At the end of the training period, five winners with the most compelling ideas were chosen with each winner scheduled to also receive up to $10, 000 in seed funding to scale up and expand their business operations.
