The fifth annual edition, organised by the Petrosol Women’s Network (PWN) to coincide with International Women’s Day, brought together leaders from the downstream petroleum sector to discuss women’s empowerment and leadership in decision-making roles.
Dr. Audrey Smock Amoah, Guest of Honour at the event, commended PETROSOL for creating a platform for meaningful yearly discussions on women’s inclusivity.
She encouraged women to seek reliable support amid professional challenges and praised the PWN platform for advancing conversations that promote empowerment.
Chairing the conference, Dr. Stella Agyenim-Boateng underscored the vital role women play in shaping PETROSOL’s future.
“We are significant members of society who hold the legacy for the next generation,” she said, describing the gathering as a powerhouse assembly extending beyond the company’s female employees.
