For the fifth monthly draw in March, the bank took a thoughtful step by disbursing the total N11 million cash prize to an all-women pool of winners. Among the 131 winners were Ogechukwu Ani from Aba, Vanessa Ogbonna from Lagos, and Mubarakaht Alowonle from Bodija, all of whom won N1 million each. Others included eight individual domiciliary account holders who won N250,000 each, 40 women who won N100,000 each, and 80 who won N25,000 each.

Congratulating the lucky winners, Wema Bank’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Moruf Oseni, reiterated the bank’s commitment to empowering women. “Wema Bank was founded on the precept of empowerment. Since 1945, we have carried on this legacy, promoting financial inclusion for the indigenous people of Nigeria and empowering our people with the resources they need to thrive.

Oseni emphasized that the bank has been intentional about creating tailored opportunities for women. “In recognition of the gap that exists in gender equality, we have been intentional about creating tailored opportunities for women through our women-focused proposition, SARA by Wema, and our vast range of customized solutions and initiatives designed for women.”

He concluded, “To the 131 women who emerged winners, I say a hearty congratulations to you, and I take this opportunity to also thank you for choosing Wema Bank and continuing to trust our services. We do not take it for granted. For 80 years, we have pulled all stops to deliver the best quality of impactful banking to the people of Nigeria, and I boldly reaffirm that we will never relent in providing a rewarding, fulfilling, and empowering banking experience for every customer of Wema Bank.
