One of Nigeria’s lenders, Wema Bank, says the need to bridge the gender gap and give the womenfolk a sense of belonging, informed its decision to create tailored products targeted at women.
“As a bank, we recognise the gender equality gap that exists globally, and we understand the need for a tailored approach to addressing this challenge. This is why we launched our women-focused proposition, SARA by Wema, in 2019, and why we continue to take intentional steps towards empowering women,” Moruf Oseni, managing director, Wema Bank, said.
Oseni spoke at the Wema Bank International Women’s Day 2025 event in Lagos, where he emphasised the bank’s long-standing commitment to empowering women. “We walk the talk when it comes to women empowerment,” he stated.
