The Company Secretary/Legal Adviser of Kaduna Electric, Dr. Maryam Shehu Mohammed, has charged female staff of the Company to leverage on the countless opportunities provided by technology to advance their careers and personal skills.
Dr.
Maryam Mohammed made the admonition yesterday during a round table meeting organized
by the Organizational Development and Design Unit for all the female staff to commemorate
this year’s International Women’s Day.
According
to her, the theme of this year’s celebration, “Digital: Innovation
and Technology for Gender Equity”, could not come at a more appropriate
time and therefore challenge her female counterparts to strive hard to acquire
new skills and develop their capacities.
“Improve yourselves, amplify your voice, know your art and
skills always grab up to your opportunities, be assertive enough to know your
right and earn your credit I believed with that you can be better than where
you are now” she said.
She
also congratulated and appreciated the achievements recorded by some female
staff of the Company who were recently elevated to Executive Management
position and other senior Management positions recently and called on them
to go the extra miles to achieve the impossible things.
“I
will say we are winning the war looking at the percentage of women in
leadership position in this company two years back, progress is obviously being
made just with position of Engr. Asma’u Ahmed as the Chief Marketing and
Revenue Assurance, the number of female Area Managers, Creche among although
not as rapidly but we believe we will be where we want to be”, Dr. Maryam Mohammed
asserted.
In
his goodwill message, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, Engr. Yusuf Usman Yahaya, congratulated the female staff of the
Company in particular and the entire women folk and described women as pillars
of support to men and God’s greatest blessing to humanity.
He
assured the female workers of the Company of the determination of the
Management under his leadership to provide conducive working environment and
equitable opportunities that will enable the women folk excel in their work.
“Without
a doubt, we have modest gains in providing a workplace environment where our
womenfolk can thrive. I remember joining my predecessor to launch the creche on
my first day here. That was an indication of our desire to ensure that our
nursing colleagues have a safe place for their babies and piece of my mind
while at work. Our gender policy has also become fully operational. Proof of
this is in the rising number of females currently occupying leadership roles at
different levels”.
“At
Kaduna Electric, we shall continue to encourage women to aspire to greater
heights in their careers. We shall provide them with training opportunities to
upscale and hone their skills to become the best in their field. I encourage
you all to endeavor to join professional bodies and associations where you will
be abreast of latest trends and acquire the relevant certifications for
personal and career growth”.
I
thank the organizers of this event which I learnt has been running for the past
three years. I encourage you to keep the momentum. You have my full support” he
said.

Head, OD&D, Adeola Akanni appreciated all the women in the Company and
charged them to brace up and face the challenges as their male counterpart.
