At Mai Shayi Coffee, we believe the future of Nigerian coffee should be built by everyone who has a place in it.
Today, 65% of our workforce is made up of women. That number is not accidental. It reflects a deliberate commitment to creating opportunities for women across the different parts of our business — from coffee service and hospitality to operations, production and the work that happens behind the scenes.
For us, inclusion is not simply about meeting a percentage. It is about creating a workplace where talent is recognised, responsibility is earned, and people have the opportunity to grow.
Coffee is a value chain made up of many hands. From the farm to processing, roasting, cafés and the final cup, every role contributes to what eventually reaches the customer. We want women to be part of every stage of that journey.
Our 65% figure is therefore not the destination. It is a reflection of the kind of company we are intentionally building — one where women can find meaningful work, develop their skills, take on responsibility and build careers within Nigeria’s growing coffee industry.
As Nigerian coffee enters a new chapter, the people building that future should reflect the diversity of the communities and customers we serve.
65% today. More opportunity tomorrow.
