The 14th Annual Conference of Women in Logistics and Transport (WiLAT) Nigeria was held last Thursday, in a remarkable demonstration of the organisation’s commitment to advancing gender equity, diversity and professional excellence in the logistics and transport sector.
The conference, which attracted a strong contingent of young transport and logistics professionals across various modes of transportation, was themed “Driving Results: Time Mastery in Logistics and Transport.”
As expected, the event attracted distinguished personalities from across the transport and logistics industry, including the Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mrs. Vivian Richard-Edet; Executive Vice Chairman, ENL Consortium Limited, Olori Vicky Haastrup; former President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Alhaji Ibrahim Jubril; and Founder, WiLAT Nigeria, Hajia Aisha Ali Ibrahim, among other industry stakeholders.
