This prestigious recognition by Women in Mining UK celebrates 100 exceptional women driving transformation, inclusivity, and sustainability in the global mining industry.

Dr Asokoro-Ogaji, the executive director of Women in Mining Africa (WiM-Africa) and group managing director of Richflood Group, was the sole Nigerian on the 2024 list and one of 25 African honourees, highlighting her extraordinary contributions to the continent’s mining sector and her advocacy for women’s inclusion and leadership in the industry.

At the recognition ceremony held at the BMO office and the Institute of Directors in London, mining leaders from across the world gathered to honour the 25 trailblazers.

Speaking on the accolade, Dr Asokoro-Ogaji told journalists that “the recognition reflects the resilience and commitment of African women to redefining the mining landscape. It underscores the need to foster sustainable practices and create opportunities for future leaders in mining.”

A WIM100 press statement described Asokoro-Ogaji as a pioneer, a change-maker, and a champion for responsible, sustainable, and inclusive practices in mining.

“Dr Asokoro-Ogaji embodies these qualities through her tireless efforts to drive meaningful change in Africa’s mining industry. She rises to challenges with resilience and determination, consistently breaking barriers and empowering others to take their rightful place in leadership positions,” it said.

The WIM100 distinction is celebrated biennially, following a rigorous selection process during which the recipients are chosen for their unwavering leadership, innovative contributions, and dedication to fostering responsible mining practices.

As part of the honour, Dr Asokoro-Ogaji and fellow awardees will participate in the Resourcing Tomorrow event, a high-profile gathering that brings together over 500 investors. This platform provides a unique opportunity to attract investment and advance solid mineral operations across Africa.
