SIFAX Group has reaffirmed its commitment to gender inclusion and leadership advancement with a high-level International Women’s Day, IWD 2025 event, themed “Beyond Glass Ceilings: Breaking Boundaries, Redefining Success.”

Held at the Lagos Marriott Hotel, the event convened senior executives, industry professionals, and thought leaders to explore practical strategies for empowering women and dismantling systemic barriers in corporate spaces.

At the center of the discussions was a keynote address by Dr. (Mrs.) Ajoritsedere Awosika, Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic and former Chairman of Access Bank PLC. In her keynote address, Dr. Awosika challenged women to actively pursue leadership roles while emphasizing the importance of continuous self-development.

“Success is not handed out—it is earned”, she remarked, stressing that women must position themselves for opportunities and remain adaptable in the face of technological changes. She further highlighted the need for organizations to move beyond tokenism and adopt structural changes that enable women to lead effectively.

A Corporate Commitment to Gender Inclusion

SIFAX Group’s leadership used the event to underscore its ongoing efforts to promote gender equity across its subsidiaries. In her remarks, Mrs. Wunmi Eniola-Jegede, Group Coordinating Director, pointed to the growing number of women holding key leadership positions within the organization as evidence of SIFAX Group’s inclusive culture.

“At SIFAX Group, we don’t just talk about gender inclusion—we prioritize it. The subsidiaries that are thriving are often led by women, and we are committed to ensuring that every qualified woman has the opportunity to lead”, she said.

The company’s Chairman, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, reinforced this message in a goodwill address, stating that SIFAX Group views gender inclusivity as a business imperative, not a symbolic gesture.

“We recognize that women bring immense value to leadership and decision-making. At SIFAX Group, we are committed to ensuring that talent, not gender, determines success”, he said. 

Beyond corporate statements, the event featured an in-depth panel discussion with senior female leaders from SIFAX Group, focusing on the realities women face in male-dominated sectors and the structural support needed to foster their growth. The panel highlighted mentorship, continuous learning, and deliberate policy shifts as key drivers of gender equity.

The IWD 2025 event aligns with SIFAX Group’s broader strategy to advance gender inclusion through leadership development programs, mentorship initiatives, and deliberate talent promotion across its subsidiaries.

As the event wrapped up, the message was clear: women must not only demand a seat at the table but also be ready to lead when they get there. With a renewed sense of purpose, attendees left inspired to challenge stereotypes, develop leadership skills, and break barriers in their respective fields.
