Dr. Mutiu Sunmonu
The main hall of Metropolitan Club was thick with the hum of crystal glasses clinking and the low murmur of industry titans.
Right on the stage, beneath a banner reading Women in Energy Gala Awards Night 2026 glancing out over a sea of face that had spent decades in the oil and gas industry.
Former Country Chair of Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN), Dr. Mutiu Sunmonu in his keynote address at the Women in Energy Network (WIEN) Gala and Awards Night, said women are driving finance, strategic investments, and foundational engines of the oil and gas sector. Before his retirement, he had worked over four decades with enormous experience and empowering women who worked under him.
He acknowledged the role of women in the industry including their legacy. Dr. Sunmonu encouraged the women not to be intimated but believe in themselves to achieve success despite being in a male dominated industry.
He gave brief history of how he worked with women in Shell including their attainment; “men cannot do it alone without the assistance of the women.”
Dr. Sunmonu commended the accomplishments of women advising them to continue to inspire progress taking advantage of opportunities in the oil and gas sector.
