Wema Bank is celebrating its 80th anniversary by reaffirming its commitment to supporting women-led businesses in Nigeria. Recognizing the crucial role these businesses play in driving economic growth, the bank aims to provide essential resources and opportunities for their success.
One of the key initiatives is the "SARA By Wema" program, which fosters a supportive community for women to enhance their financial and personal growth. Additionally, Wema Bank's partnership with the UN Women's Empowerment Principles Platform highlights its dedication to promoting gender equality and women's economic inclusion.
The impact of these efforts has been significant, with over 4,450 SMEs participating in the NBC Trade Fair, 85% of which were female-led. This initiative generated more than N3.5 billion in SME revenue, creating transformative opportunities for businesses throughout Nigeria.
Wema Bank is focused on the future, continuing its strong commitment to empowering women-led businesses and acknowledging their significant impact on the economy. The bank's initiatives aim to create an inclusive environment that fosters growth and sustainability for these enterprises.
As Wema Bank looks ahead, its ongoing support for women's economic inclusion reflects its dedication to driving growth and development across Nigeria. The bank recognizes that empowering women in business is not only beneficial for individual enterprises but also crucial for the overall economic progress of the nation.
