NNPC Retail Limited (NRL) has hosted She-Fix 2025, an event dedicated to empowering women in automotive, technical, and energy sectors and commemorating International Women's Day.

The event, which took place at The Stable Center, Surulere, Lagos, attracted over 300 active participants as part of global celebrations marking this year's International Women's Day (IWD).

A statement by the NNPC spokesman, Olufemi Soneye, said the programme had as its theme: "Driving Diversity and Powering Progress."

"NNPC is steadfast in promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion. She-Fix symbolizes our ongoing commitment to creating an equitable and progressive workplace for women," Onwuegbu stated.

Attendees actively participated in Car Care 101 sessions, live car diagnostics, and explored a lively marketplace promoting female-led businesses. Special discounts on Oleum Lubricants and LPG NR-GAS further supported NNPC Retail's commitment to empowering women in the energy sector.
