CIG Motors, manufacturers of GAC motors and the Diana Chen Foundation are partnering with the Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ), to foster inclusiveness in management positions and training opportunities.
The CEO of CIG Motors, Chief Diana Chen, said that WIMBIZ is one of the organisations that has an outstanding leadership and management programme that helps to propel women’s inclusiveness. She said this during a courtesy visit of the WIMBIZ management team to CIG Motors in Lagos recently.
She further revealed that the auto firm has women in diverse sections of its operation, as this aligns with the WIMBIZ vision and mission of having women at the management level of organisations.
On her part, the new Executive Director of WIMBIZ, Omowunmi Akingbohoungbe shared the reason for its collaboration with the leading automobile manufacturing company,
She disclosed that the partnership represented what the WIMBIZ woman looks like in showcasing her full potential, contributing to nation-building, and humanity, and creating employment opportunities with a platform for other women to thrive.
In her words, “Our goal is to constantly advocate for women, create a platform that can help alleviate their status and business across the business, corporate organization, and public service, and get us to grow the inclusiveness of women to an acceptable and balanced percentage where we have partners and supporters across the nation to achieve this.”
Former ED, Hansatu Adegbite, who recently handed over the baton of leadership after seven years in that capacity to Omowunmi Akingbohungbe, noted that WIMBIZ sees partnership and collaboration as a significant part of its growth, hence the growth and progress seen in the CIG brand and Diana Chen Foundation showed they possessed the standard to partner with it, as a woman is at their helm of affairs.
