Challenge
Gender
As a lady in the Mining Industry, a “male-dominated” industry, gender has always been a barrier, and breaking through that barrier is a goal for me.
What you know and your ability to produce a result is paramount. Once you can achieve that and break that Gender ground you can smoothly forge ahead.
Solution
Abiodun Odunayo Sekinat has a 2 year plan to grow her company. She also plans to create a training center for women and students to learn about opportunities in the solid minerals mining sectors.
She wants to create opportunities for women to learn in order to enhance their ability to compete within the market. The training center will be subsidised in order to make it affordable to as many people as possible.
Impact
She hopes her present, and future, success will inspire other women in mining Nigeria and enable them to see that there are a lot of possibilities for them. She hopes to inspire courage to walk that path as well. Women are capable of so much more.
