The Women In Energy Network (WIEN) is one of the revered association for women in energy as its pride itself with outstanding members across the sectors making waves in their chosen carrier.
WIEN members are changing the status quo by living up to the challenge that the industry is no longer male dominated. Most of its members are in executive management positions in the industry positively turning the tide.
The revered women association recently held its second Dinner and Awards Night where members were given awards for their contributions to the industry.
Speaking at the Awards Night, President of WIEN, Mrs. Eyono Fatai-Williams, erstwhile General Manager, External Relations of Nigerian Liquefied and Natural Gas (NLNG), said: “it is an honour and a privilege to stand before you this evening, as we gather to celebrate excellence, achievement, and the collective strides we have made in fostering gender diversity and empowerment within the energy industry.”
“Tonight is not just a celebration of success; it is recognition of the resilience, dedication, and innovation displayed by women who have left indelible marks in the energy sector. It is also a reflection that our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and diverse energy landscape has never been stronger, and tonight’s awards ceremony stands as a testament to the incredible talent and excellence within our network.”
Fatayi-Williams noted that over the past year, WIEN has been committed to creating meaningful impact through a variety of initiatives. “One of our standout accomplishments has been the launch of the WIEN Woman Podcast. This platform allows us to amplify the voices of inspiring women in the energy sector, sharing their stories, insights, experiences, and expertise. The podcast has not only amplified our mission but has also served as a source of inspiration for many aspiring professionals.”
She stated that the commitment to knowledge sharing is evident through a series of Master classes and Webinars organized by WIEN, and which led to the creation of the WIEN Newsletter, launched earlier in the year which has been a beacon of information and trends within our network and the industry.

“As we delve into the awards ceremony, let us remember that every nominee and award recipient represents a story of resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to driving positive change, and each accolade is not just recognition of individual accomplishments but a celebration of collective triumphs. Together, we amplify our impact, making strides towards a more inclusive, diverse, and prosperous energy landscape.”
“I extend my deepest gratitude to all our sponsors, allies, and members who have contributed to the success of this evening and the overall achievement of the WIEN.”
The WIEN President urged members to embrace the association with open hearts, inspired minds, and a shared vision for a future where the energy industry is defined by equality, innovation, and the limitless potential of women.
