I walked into Nigeria Mining Week Pre-Conference Day 1 expecting standard corporate talk, but what unfolded was a masterclass in industry reality ✨
Before the main event even began, leaders gathered around tables asking the uncomfortable questions: Is our data bankable? Do we have the power to refine minerals locally? Can investor rules be trusted?
But the defining moment for me? The Women in Extractive Industries Forum.
Listening to female engineers, ESG directors, and industry pioneers breakdown how women are claiming space in technical site roles and shaping community-led sustainability gave me absolute chills.
As an HR leader passionate about career pathways in clean energy and heavy industry, this hit home. Inclusion isn’t just nice to have, it’s the fuel powering Africa’s industrial transition.
