GUINESS NIGERIA PLC has reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment and economic development through the successful conclusion of the Plan W training recap and asset handover ceremony, which held in Ibadan, recently.
The event marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing mission to foster economic empowerment and social progress among women across Nigeria.
Speaking at the ceremony, Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria, Adebayo Alli, emphasised the initiative’s far-reaching impact
Since its inception in 2019, the Guinness Plan W initiative has empowered 1,150 women across Nigeria’s providing them with the required skills and resources to become thriving business-owners.
According to Guinness Nigeria, the initiative is more than just a programme as it represents a powerful movement towards economic independence and entrepreneurial success for women in underrepresented communities.
Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, Guinness Nigeria has partnered with Sightsavers Nigeria to ensure that 10% of Plan W beneficiaries are People Living with Disabilities (PLWDs). “This partnership underscores the company’s dedication to leaving no one behind, promoting a diverse and inclusive environment where all individuals have the opportunity to succeed,” Alli added.
The ceremony was graced by the presence of Hon. Mrs. Toyin Balogun, Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Inclusion, Oyo State, who praised Guinness Nigeria for its leadership in women’s empowerment.
“Guinness Nigeria Plc has become known for doing good within society as I also witnessed their recent water project in Ibarapa last year. I urge the management to continue these laudable initiatives and urge other organisations to join them for scale and wider impact.”
Their support and participation underscored the community’s collective effort towards driving economic empowerment and social progress.
