Founder’s Message
“As a leader in Nigeria’s energy sector, I’ve seen how talent often goes unseen, and potential unmet, simply for lack of opportunity.
Through the Zayna Shaw Foundation, I am committed to changing that. Especially for women in STEM, whose brilliance deserves both visibility and support. This foundation is not just an initiative, it is a personal mission to engineer pathways where none existed and to champion the futures others might overlook.”
— Engr. (Dr.) Olaide Zayna Shaw, FNSChE, FNSE, DSc, DBA
