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.

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.
