Segilola Resources Honored for HR Excellence at CIPM Awards
Segilola Resources Operating Limited (SROL), Nigeria’s leading gold mining company, has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence by clinching the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) HR Oscar Award for Best Practices in the Mining Sector. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received the prestigious accolade, reinforcing its position as a trailblazer in human resource innovation within the mining industry.
Recognized at Africa’s Largest HR Gathering
The award was presented during the 57th CIPM International Conference and Exhibition (ICE), which is widely recognized as Africa’s largest human resources gathering. The ceremony took place on October 28 at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja, celebrating organizations that exemplify best-in-class HR practices.
Setting Industry Benchmarks in Human Resources
The CIPM, Nigeria’s sole regulatory body for HR practices, bestows this award to organizations that showcase exemplary commitment to employee engagement, inclusive workforce strategies, and professional HR standards. SROL’s back-to-back win highlights its unwavering dedication to creating a workplace culture that aligns with both national and global HR benchmarks.
A Culture of Excellence and Inclusivity
Oluwaseun Fagesi, Human Resources Manager at Segilola Resources, expressed his pride in the company’s achievement and the dedication of the entire workforce. He stated, “This award from the CIPM is an indication that our HR standards are not just strong, but are truly benchmarked against national and international excellence. It reflects the collective effort of every member of the SROL team and our ongoing commitment to embedding world-class HR practices across our operations.”
Local Empowerment and Workforce Development
At the heart of SROL’s HR strategy is a focus on local empowerment and professional development. The company employs a workforce that is 99% Nigerian, with 37% hailing from the host communities surrounding the Segilola Gold Mine. This aligns with the organization’s Community Development Agreements (CDAs), which aim to ensure shared prosperity and capacity building within local populations.
The company’s emphasis on developing local talent and offering comprehensive training programs has earned it a reputation as one of the most inclusive and forward-thinking employers in Nigeria’s mining sector.
Championing Diversity and Gender Inclusion
Segilola Resources has also made remarkable strides in promoting diversity by encouraging the participation of women in roles traditionally dominated by men. Through targeted initiatives and mentorship programs, the company has created opportunities for female professionals to thrive in technical and leadership positions, further enhancing workplace inclusivity.
Building Sustainable Communities
Beyond the workplace, SROL continues to invest in community development through collaborative infrastructure projects. These initiatives are designed to foster transparency, provide long-term opportunities, and support sustainable growth in the regions it operates. From educational programs to health and environmental initiatives, the company’s efforts reflect a holistic approach to corporate social responsibility.
Looking to the Future
As SROL celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on the future. Plans are underway to deepen investments in human capital, enhance stakeholder engagement, and strengthen sustainability strategies. These efforts aim to ensure that SROL not only maintains its leadership in Nigeria’s mining sector but also sets new standards for HR excellence across the continent.
By continuously innovating its HR practices and fostering a culture of excellence, Segilola Resources is not just mining gold—it’s shaping a golden standard for human resources in Africa.
