Amongst other things, the visit was made to explore partnership with Chams Holdco and to empower more women to occupy executive and senior management positions.
Speaking on behalf of the delegates, the Executive Director and the Advocacy Committee Chairman explained that when women are part of decision- making, they can speak more to issues that affect women in the workplace and make policies that help women thrive.
The representatives also highlighted the benefits of WIMBIZ’s mentoring programmes including networking and the opportunity to be mentored by experts across diverse fields.
On her part, the Group Managing Director, Mayowa Olaniyan, revealed the company’s commitment to gender representation, which is evidenced by her leadership and appointment of women in key positions on the board and at the management level.
