Hello April 💚

As we step into a new month, Pinefon remains committed to protecting, supporting, and advocating for every child. This April, we are reminded that every child deserves a safe environment, a voice that is heard, and a future free from harm.

Through our programs and outreach, we continue to stand against child abuse in all its forms, while creating spaces where children can grow, learn, and thrive with confidence and dignity.

Let this month be a reminder for all of us to stay intentional, to speak up, and to play our part in safeguarding the lives of the children around us.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and impactful April ahead 🌿💚

What an inspiring moment for young women in STEM!
Ifeoma Lucy Ugwuanyi, a brilliant Petroleum Engineering student from the Federal University of Petroleum Resources , has emerged as the overall winner of the .0 held on 6 March at - on her birthday too!

Her outstanding presentation, "Drilling Fluid Formulation for High Pressure and High Temperature Wells,” earned her the top spot among three exceptional finalists showcasing innovative, solution‑driven research.

Other remarkable finalists included:
Chukwuka Chioma Favour (PTI) – Investigating PAHs, lead, zinc and cadmium in crude‑oil‑contaminated water; and
Elizabeth Onome Anthony (PTI) – Developing green nanoparticles for scale inhibition and removal.

The Chief Judge, Prof. Kenneth Ibe, praised the Founder of Pinefon Empowerment Initiative, Mrs Mfon Otite Douglas, for her unwavering commitment to empowering the girl child and nurturing future STEM leaders.

In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Lucy thanked God, her lecturers, and her parents — and revealed that her big win came on her birthday

The event also featured goodwill messages from partner organisations and a sensitisation session by NDLEA representative Adeosun Olabisi on the dangers of drug abuse.

With registration now open for the .0 edition, Pinefon Empowerment Initiative continues to champion opportunities for young women across Nigeria.

Congratulations, Lucy!
A true inspiration to girls in STEM everywhere!!
