Mezovest, a leading player in Nigeria’s energy sector, has taken a significant step towards empowering women by launching a comprehensive training program for 20 women from diverse regions across the country.
The initiative is designed to equip these women with the necessary skills and resources to venture into the gas retail business, creating opportunities for economic independence and entrepreneurship.
The selected participants, who scaled through a screening process, were chosen based on their enthusiasm, commitment, and potential to thrive in the gas retail sector. According to Mezovest, the program will span several weeks and cover various aspects of the gas retail business, including safety protocols, customer service, business management, and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the participants will receive hands-on training, workshops, and mentorship sessions from industry experts to enhance their knowledge and confidence in operating successful gas retail ventures.
Mezovest’s initiative seeks to break barriers and challenge stereotypes by actively encouraging women’s participation in traditionally male-dominated industries.
Speaking about the initiative, the Co-founder of Mezovest, Mr Tosin Ashafa, expressed the company’s dedication to fostering inclusivity and empowering women in the energy sector. “What we are doing here today is not a mere gesture but a deliberate attempt to help women like you launch and grow businesses to create wealth for your families and impact positively on society.”
Following Mr Ashafa’s remarks, the CEO of Mezovest, Mr Tosin Thompson charged the women to be determined and resilient. He added that “it is our mission at Mezovest to see women thrive because societies grow on the back of empowered women.”
Some of the women participating in the program shared their excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. Many expressed their hopes of breaking new ground in an industry and significantly improving their living conditions.
