NNPC Retail Limited (NRL) marked another milestone with the successful hosting of
She-Fix 2025, a landmark event dedicated to empowering women in automotive,
technical, and energy sectors and commemorating International Women’s Day.
The event, which took place recently at The Stable Center, Surulere, Lagos, attracted
over 300 active participants as part of global celebrations marking this year’s
International Women’s Day (IWD). It has as its theme “Driving Diversity and
Powering Progress.”

The event emphasized the critical role women play in driving innovation, national
growth, and economic development. Hands-on activities, engaging discussions, and
technical demonstrations served to showcase the diverse talents and contributions
of women in traditionally male-dominated industries.

The event also honored female mechanics for their outstanding achievements,
presenting awards in recognition of their significant contributions and dedication to
their craft.
NNPC Retail’s Managing Director, Mr. Huub Stokman, highlighted the
transformative vision behind She-Fix: “She-Fix 2025 transcends the idea of a mere
event—it represents our collective commitment to recognizing and elevating
women’s voices and contributions across various industries.”

Mr. Cyprian Onwuegbu, Senior Business Adviser representing the Executive Vice
President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, reiterated the company’s dedication to
gender inclusivity: “NNPC is steadfast in promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion.
She-Fix symbolizes our ongoing commitment to creating an equitable and
progressive workplace for women.”

Attendees actively participated in Car Care 101 sessions, live car diagnostics, and
explored a lively marketplace promoting female-led businesses. Special discounts on
Oleum Lubricants and LPG NR-GAS further supported NNPC Retail’s commitment
to empowering women in the energy sector.

A standout feature of the event was the vibrant panel session titled “Unleashing the
Potential of Women for a Stronger Nation,” where industry leaders and policymakers
discussed strategies to overcome workplace barriers, nurture leadership among
women, and create inclusive environments that empower women to thrive.

performances, interactive games, and networking opportunities. The popular spinthe-wheel challenge added excitement, facilitating mentorship and professional
