Yvonne Chioma Ofodile is the MD/CEO, Zetile Oil and Gas Ltd, an integrated downstream Oil and Gas distribution and marketing company, as well as founder of 360 Woman Africa. Boasting 12 years of combined experience in different areas within the oil and gas industry and social enterprise sector, she also serves as the Managing Director of Zetile Stores Limited in Lekki, Lagos.
Looking back to the past decade, did you envision this day in regards to all that you have achieved so far? What inspired you to establish 360 Woman Africa and all the work you’ve been doing with the organisation over the years? As founder of a non-profit, what are some challenges you experience that you’d like to throw light on with the hope that they can be solved?
The summit and grant was an off shoot of the three months MBA programme by us for 100 women in business after which application for the grant was opened to the public with high consideration for applicants who have attended and graduated from the MBA programme, which also held in Lagos last year at Four Point by Sheraton and had women from Kano, Enugu, Ibadan all fly in to be a part off.
I will encourage women to continue to rise up to the occasion without fear of failure. Failures must always be seen as feedbacks not a sad response to an effort made. You have all it takes to live your dreams; it is possible in our world today, so get up and go for it. At the end of the three months, the 100 women came together for their certification and graduation ceremony in Lagos and 84 women received their certificates and were inducted into the 360 Woman Africa Women in Business MBA Alumni group for further support, mentorship and access to opportunities, while the application for grant was then made open.
