Women from various walks of life are set to converge on Abuja next month for CENSUS'26, a major faith-based outreach aimed at empowering women for leadership, spiritual impact, and societal transformation. The conference, organized by Extra Oil Wise Women in collaboration with Radiant Family Life Initiative, is scheduled to hold on June 6 at the M&M Event Center in Garki, Abuja.
Conference Vision and Purpose
In a statement by the Founder and Executive Director of Radiant Family Life Initiative, Ruth Haruna, she described the gathering as more than just a conference, calling it a "Kingdom mandate" designed to reposition women as co-laborers in God's vineyard and agents of positive change in society. She noted that anchored on the biblical text in 1 Corinthians 3:9, the outreach will focus on helping women discover their identity in Christ, strengthen family and community values, and rise as voices against oppression, confusion, and societal decay.
Haruna said the program would serve as a platform to regroup, reconnect, and commission women for purposeful living and kingdom advancement. According to her, the vision behind CENSUS'26 is to inspire women to support one another while driving influence across families, ministries, communities, and professional spaces.
Featured Speakers and Topics
The event is expected to feature a lineup of prominent Christian speakers, including gospel minister Victoria Orenze, alongside Julia Okutepa, Stella Kosmil-Ilegogie, Susan Favor-Atadoga, Bisi Makoju, Ruth Haruna, and Sarah Bukar. The founder explained that the speakers are expected to address issues surrounding womanhood, spiritual partnership, identity in Christ, family life, and purposeful leadership.
Live Streaming and Wider Participation
Haruna added that the outreach would also be streamed live on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to allow wider participation from women across Nigeria and beyond. "CENSUS'26 seeks to regroup and reconnect women, commissioning them as empowered voices and builders in God's field. It is a call to be counted — not merely as attendees, but as Kingdom partners prepared to advance light, clarity, and dominion wherever they serve," she said.
