A Nigerian firm, Eunisell Limited, has restated its commitment to shaping a future characterised by equality and empowerment across all sectors, including the dynamic energy industry.

The chief executive of the company, Mr. Ken Okeiyi, gave this commitment when he addressed women operating in the energy field commemorating the 2024 International Women’s Day.

Speaking during the event, Okeiyi emphasised the need for equal opportunities, fair representation, and environments that embrace diversity adding that Eunisell is dedicated to advancing equality and opportunity for all.

“The theme of 2024 deeply resonates with Eunisell’s values and Eunisell recognises and celebrates the distinct perspectives and capabilities that women bring to the forefront.

“We acknowledge the pivotal role of diversity and inclusion in driving innovation and excellence, and we will continuously explore creative and innovative avenues to ensure women have access to opportunities at all levels within our organisation.

“On this International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our steadfast commitment to shaping a future characterised by equality and empowerment across all sectors, including the dynamic energy industry,” he said.

Also at the event, the executive secretary of Women in Energy Network (WIEN), Asanimo Omezi, called on individuals to advocate for inclusive practices and spearhead initiatives to break down barriers.

Omezi stressed the importance of recognising diverse life stages in promoting inclusivity and emphasised the need for equal opportunities, fair representation, and environments that embrace diversity.

She also underscored the critical role of organisations like WIEN in fostering collaboration and empowerment through initiatives such as knowledge-sharing platforms, coaching, and scholarship programmes.

“Creating and sustaining suitable environments for women is necessary. It allows for their engagement and access to knowledge, finance and resources, and also provides them with role models, mentors and flexible working arrangements for increased impact.

“Evidence abounds on the benefits of integrating gender considerations into the energy sector. When the barriers that prevent women from having equal access to energy and economic opportunities are removed, significant productivity gains are unlocked, strengthening development and economic outcomes,” Omezi said.
