CEO
"Research has shown that women in Nigeria populate the small and medium scale sector, and given the impact of MSMEs on the growth of the economy, it has become a core part of our role as a bank to support and empower women. For this reason, we launched ‘SARA By Wema’ to give women the opportunity to grow, individually and financially, within a community that supports their needs. Our relationship with UN Women's Empowerment Principles Platform is a show of commitment from Wema Bank to continually provide opportunities and affiliate with initiatives that aid the growth of women, encourage their financial inclusion and increase equality in the society."
