The Nigerian Indigenous Women in Mining and Natural Resources Organisation (NIWIMNRO) has been honored with the EnergyNet Leadership Award for its significant contributions to advancing women in the mining and natural resources sector. Recognized by a UK-based organization, NIWIMNRO’s efforts highlight its commitment to empowering indigenous women through capacity building, advocacy, and inclusion in resource governance.
