As the deadline of May 20, 2026, fast approaches, Wema Bank has announced the last call for submissions for children and teens interested in participating in becoming MD/CEO of Wema Bank for one day.
Launched
in May 2025 as part of Wema Bank’s 80th anniversary celebration, the One-Day
MD/CEO initiative was introduced by Wema Bank to commemorate Children’s Day in
a uniquely unprecedented manner. Inspired by the Bank’s 80th anniversary theme
“80 Years of Impact, A Future of Possibilities”, the Wema Bank One-Day MD/CEO
initiative served as a bridge between past and future, giving children across
Nigeria the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the MD/CEO of Wema Bank
for one day—Children’s Day.
As
12-year-old Chiderije Mbah emerged winner, the Wema Bank One-Day MD/CEO
initiative dominated the conversation on May 27, 2025, with children across
Nigeria inspired to put in the work towards a successful future and parents
commending the Bank’s consistent commitment to empowering children and helping
them build the right future. This year, 2026, the Wema Bank One-Day MD/CEO
initiative has returned on a larger scale.
For the
2026 Children’s Day celebration, Wema Bank will give another child or teenager
[ages 0-16] a chance to step into the shoes of Managing Director/CEO of Wema
Bank, for a day. The child will get to oversee board meetings, make tactical
decisions, and experience firsthand the demands and responsibilities that come
with the office of MD/CEO, especially for an institution like Wema Bank,
Nigeria’s oldest indigenous national bank, most innovative and pioneer of
Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT.
To
participate, children/teens are expected to record a 60-second video detailing
what their ideal role in banking would be and what they hope to achieve. This
video is to be posted on any social media platform using
#EvolutionOfPossibilities and tagging @wemabank on the post. The post with the
highest number of likes emerges winner and the winner gets to become MD/CEO of
Wema Bank on Monday, May 25, 2026, in celebration of Children’s Day.
Both
parents and teens are encouraged to hurry and make their submissions now as
entry closes in less than two days, specifically on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
