Tony Elumelu.

The group Chairman of Heirs Holding Plc, Mr. Tony Elumelu has advocated women inclusion in the workplace especially at decision making and board levels of organizations.

He said this as he celebrated the International Women’s Day, using the opportunity to showcase what he, through his companies, had done to create a conducive environment for women to thrive by making sure they occupy strategic position where their influence would be noticed and felt.

Celebrating the IWD on his Social Media platform, Mr. Tony Elumelu wrote, “I am and will always be a strong advocate for inclusion in every area of life. I have witnessed first-hand the impact of investing in, working with, and learning from women. My first influence was my mother, whose experience as an entrepreneur served as my initiation into a world where hard work translates to success.

As a father of five girls, I am also deeply influenced by the responsibility of fatherhood.  My wife, Awele, and I, are not only shaping our daughters' futures, but also showing them what is possible through hard work, resilience, and discipline.

At @Heirs_Holdings, 40% of our CEOs are women, with 36% representation at the executive management level.

At @UBAGroup, 50% of our board members are women, with 8 remarkable female CEOs steering the ship of Africa’s most formidable financial institution.
