APWEN UNIPORT CHAPTER

The Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria APWEN was formed by a handful of women engineers led by Engr. (Mrs.) J. O. Maduka in 1982 and was formally inaugurated in 1983. It was originally meant to be a pressure group since most men hiring engineers then would rather have women in the kitchen and not on construction sites or behind the desk carrying out engineering designs. Our Vision To be the catalyst for advancement of women in the engineering profession towards national and global technological development. Our Mission To continuously increase awareness that engineering is a career for girls also, thereby improving the numerical strength of female engineers. Our Objectives To provide a forum for promoting sorority amongst female engineers.
