Japan Tobacco International Nigeria (JTI Nigeria), a member of JTI Worldwide, has reaffirmed its commitment to gender equity and inclusive leadership as it joins the global community in commemorating International Women’s Day 2026.
Speaking on the occasion, the General Manager of JTI Nigeria, Abdallah Simba, emphasised that creating opportunities for women is both a social responsibility and a key driver of sustainable business success.
“Empowering women in the workplace is not only the right thing to do, it also strengthens organisations,” he said. “When women have equal access to opportunities, leadership pathways and professional development, businesses benefit from broader perspectives, stronger teams and better decision-making.”
Simba noted that JTI continues to prioritise an inclusive workplace culture built on merit, fairness and equal opportunity. As a Top Global Employer for ten consecutive years, the company has consistently invested in policies and programmes that support employee development and well-being.
At JTI Nigeria, these efforts include structured talent development initiatives, mentorship opportunities, flexible work arrangements and a strong focus on building leadership capability across the organisation.
“International Women’s Day is an important moment to reflect on the progress made and the work that still lies ahead. At JTI Nigeria, we remain committed to fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow, contribute and lead.”
JTI Nigeria remains committed to responsible business practices, operational excellence and contributing positively to Nigeria’s economic development while upholding the highest global standards in governance and sustainability.
