Apr 21, 2021 • S01 E08 • 00:39:10
One quality that has set women apart within the society is Multi-tasking. I see this expressed i the Proverbs 31 Woman; 'She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.'
in this episode of the phenomenal woman series I shared the stage with Eriye Onagoruwa,
Eriye Onagoruwwa is a financial literacy expert, author and public speaker, Eriye is a multi-skilled professional with about two decades of post-graduation experience in the energy industry.
She is skilled in gas and power multi-party contract negotiations and has proven commercial acumen in concluding complex gas and power projects and development frameworks, refinery commercial transactions and complex stakeholder management. She represented Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) as the commercial lead in the SPDC JV commercial negotiations covering multi-million dollar projects, worked on several NAOC JV commercial initiatives including its first IPP Power plant and led the company’s refinery expansion project with NNPC.
She also served as vice-chairman of the gas sub-committee of the Oil Producers Trade Section (OPTS) of the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).
Eriye’s career transitioned in 2019 from major oil and gas commercial transactions to stakeholder management, external affairs and sustainability. She is currently the External Affairs and Government Relations Manager for Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited.
When she is not negotiating energy deals, impacting lives through corporate social responsibility initiatives or executing corporate affairs strategies, she is imagining a fictional world of endless possibilities, discussing financial literacy and investments or contributing opinion editorials to leading media outlets in Nigeria and beyond.
Her first novel, Dear Alaere, a captivating tale of a woman’s persistence in the face of love, hate, rivalry, betrayal and other travails, was published by Paperworth Books in 2020. In Dear Alaere, Eriye examines a woman’s quest for the much-elusive work-life balance and societal acceptance in Nigeria’s commercial epicenter, Lagos.
She holds a Masters of Law in International Law and Policy from University of Ottawa, Canada. She is a member of the Chartered institute of Arbitrators England (Nigerian Branch).
Her definition of success is living for impact and in service to humanity – and these are her greatest drivers in life.
