Stakeholders in the Nigerian economic space have kicked against tokenisation of women in the workplace, noting the flood of female appointments in some global organisations.
They expressed their dissatisfaction at a webinar to honour International Women’s Day with the theme: Leave No Woman Behind: The 50% Rule, held in Lagos.
Speaking at the meeting, Managing Director, Everdon Bureau de Change, Theresa Ezeh said: “Tokenism is when a female is just appointed to a role not necessarily because she is the best fit but because they are trying to make up the number of representation as a team.
