As International Women’s Day [IWD] draws near, Wema Bank, Nigeria’s oldest indigenous bank, most innovative and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, has announced its 2026 IWD Grand Event, scheduled to hold on March 4th, 2026.
Inspired by the global IWD 2026 theme “Give To Gain”,
Wema Bank’s 2026 IWD event is centred on the topic “When Women Gain, We Grow”,
spotlighting not only the importance of giving to women but also the impact of
each effort towards this cause, with the ultimate goal of promoting a culture
of supporting and celebrating women.
Announcing the event, Wema Bank’s MD/CEO, Moruf Oseni,
reiterated the Bank’s commitment to continue pulling its weight in the
promotion of women inclusion. According to him, “Wema Bank has never been one
to pay lip service and when it comes to gender inclusion; we walk the talk with
pride. A society where women are left out is one that is crippled, and as a
Bank, we have made it a priority to never relent in providing tailored
opportunities for women, celebrating their growth and supporting their journey,
towards building a society where every woman can thrive. This was the idea
behind the launch of our women-focused proposition, SARA by Wema, in 2019 and
this is the inspiration behind all we do as a Bank towards promoting the 5th
Sustainable Development Goal [SDG], gender equality”.
“This year’s IWD theme is quite personal to us because
as a Bank that continues to give to women, we have seen firsthand the unique
potential that lies within women both personally and professionally. As such,
we have decided to dedicate this year’s celebration towards reminding the world
of the countless ways we can give to women, and why it is not merely an option
but a necessity. This year for us, is about impact—spotlighting, celebrating
and encouraging it. Our goal is for every person that joins us for this grand
event to be positively transformed in mindset and in action, in the hope that
more priority will be given to supporting and giving to women both in the
little things we do on a daily basis and in the large-scale efforts; as we
collectively bridge the gap in gender equality”, Oseni concluded.
Wema Bank’s 2026 IWD event will convene top women
across diverse industries and sectors, as well as “everyday” women still trying
to navigate life in the face of prevailing realities, providing a platform for
women from all walks of life to network, share valuable insights, access viable
opportunities and assess shared versus contrasting realities, all towards
showcasing how much impact is generated when individuals, institutions and
societies give to women.
Among the highlights of Wema Bank’s upcoming IWD event
are the SARA Gives to Empower Her Award which promises grants in support
of women who have given and made impact on other women; the employee-focused He
For She Award which recognises male employees of the Bank who have given to
women beyond financial support; the Wema Knight Gives initiative through which
the Bank’s staff will give back to women across Nigeria; and the launch of the
Wema Bank Girl Child Journal, a reflective journal that collates real-life
insights and words of advice for the girl-child from the perspectives of 80 key
contributors across different spheres of life.
