Nigeria

In this West African country, women are not allowed to work at night in gas works as part of the night-time restrictions. While women continue to be change-makers in the oil and gas industry, the sector is still overwhelmingly male in Nigeria, one of the largest oil producing country with about 2.4 million barrels a day.

Apart from not being allowed to share the same night hours as men, women managers are still in the minority in the world’s oil and gas companies, according to surveys.
