The Women in Energy Network (WIEN) has observed a big gap in the composition of members of the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) recently approved by President Bola Tinubu.

The WIEN also noted the strides made by Tinubu in the early days of the Renewed Hope agenda and as such extends commendation on his dedication to inclusivity and positive governance.

In particular, the group appreciated the president’s commitment to diversity in government appointments, as outlined in the Renewed Hope agenda.

In a statement, the president, Women in Energy Network (WIEN), Eyono Fatayi-Williams, said:  “However, it’s disconcerting to note that in the recent appointments, including the new board members of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, there has been a decrease in the number of women. Out of the nine positions, only one woman secured a spot on the board, despite the diverse pool of competent and capable women in the energy sector. “

This gender disparity she observed underscores the urgent need to address the underrepresentation of competent women in the energy sector.

While congratulating all appointees, with special mention to the woman on the board, she urged President Tinubu to strengthen the commitment to achieving 35 per cent gender inclusivity in key government roles and in board representation in MDAs.

“WIEN proposes a collaborative effort to ensure gender-balanced decision-making bodies and to leverage the proven capacity, expertise, and experience of women in the energy sector. A gender-diverse government not only aligns with global goals but also brings innovation and balanced decision-making.

“While acknowledging the dissolution of previous boards, let’s ensure these positions are filled with professionals boasting robust industry pedigrees. WIEN stands ready to support our members appointed to government roles, maintaining our values of transparency, reliability, empowerment, collaboration, and innovation.” she added.

Women in Energy Network (WIEN) Nigeria is a dynamic and influential organisation dedicated to advancing the role of women in the energy sector.

Founded in 2020 with the goal of promoting gender diversity and empowering female professionals in the energy industry, WIEN has emerged as a leading advocate for inclusivity. The network comprises accomplished women in various energy-related fields, including professionals, thought leaders, investors, and operators.
