Not the easiest to get on with but universally respected: Richard Parry-Jones
Mercurial describes very few in this world, but it’s an apt depiction of Richard Parry-Jones, Ford’s former head of global product development, who has died aged 69 in an accident at his farm in Wales.
RP-J, the Welsh wizard and Ford’s saviour would be other names, for this was a man who in his pomp would cross the Atlantic for a 20-minute drive in a prototype car, give his verdict to his engineers and catch the next plane back. Not the easiest to get on with, his direct, first-principles approach epitomised the engineer he was at heart, although he was also an accomplished player in the byzantine poker game of car-making politics.
Key women leaders in the education, engineering, energy, and judiciary sectors, recently joined their counterparts the world over, to commemorate the 2021 International Women’s Day, themed, ‘Choose to Challenge’. They spoke to Funmi Ogundare on what they are doing differently to educate and empower the girl-child to become successful women in future
The challenges confronting the girl-child in Nigeria are multifaceted. They range from insecurity mostly in the northern part of the country, leading to more girls dropping out of school, sexual harrasment, early marriage, gender discrimination, poor sanitation, among others.
Unfortunately, with the effect of Covid-19 pandemic taking its toll on the economy, the Nigerian government has not done enough in addressing the socio-economic and cultural issues confronting the girl-child to attain her full potentials and ambitions needed to transit from girlhood to a successful woman.
