    She-Fix 2025: NNPC Retail Celebrates Female Mechanics, Advocates for Inclusivity in Technical Fields

    NNPC Retail Limited (NRL) achieved another milestone with the successful hosting of She-Fix 2025, an impactful event dedicated to empowering women in the automotive, technical, and energy sectors while commemorating International Women’s Day.

    The event which held recently at The Stable Center, Surulere, Lagos, attracted over 300 participants as part of global celebrations for this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) under the theme, “Driving Diversity and Powering Progress.”

    She-Fix 2025 underscored the vital role women play in fostering innovation, national growth, and economic development. 

    The event featured hands-on activities, insightful discussions, and technical demonstrations, highlighting the expertise and contributions of women in traditionally male-dominated industries.

    A key moment of the event was the recognition of female mechanics for their exceptional achievements, with awards presented in honor of their dedication and contributions to the field.

    Speaking on the vision behind She-Fix, NNPC Retail’s Managing Director, Huub Stokman, said:

     “She-Fix 2025 is more than an event—it’s a movement dedicated to amplifying women’s voices and celebrating their impact across various industries.”

    Speaking also Cyprian Onwuegbu, Senior Business Adviser, representing the Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, reinforced the company’s commitment to gender inclusivity, saying:

     “NNPC remains committed to fostering diversity, equality, and inclusion. She-Fix is a testament to our dedication to building an equitable and progressive workplace for women.”

    Participants engaged in Car Care 101 sessions, live car diagnostics, and explored a vibrant marketplace featuring female-led businesses. 

    Special discounts on Oleum Lubricants and LPG NR-GAS further reinforced NNPC Retail’s mission to empower women in the energy sector.

    A highlight of the event was an engaging panel session titled “Unleashing the Potential of Women for a Stronger Nation.” 

    Industry leaders and policymakers discussed strategies to break workplace barriers, foster female leadership, and create inclusive spaces where women can excel.

    Other event highlights included live entertainment, musical performances, interactive games, and networking opportunities, with the popular spin-the-wheel challenge adding an extra layer of excitement and fostering mentorship connections.
