As the global conversation on gender equality continues to gain momentum, Unity Bank plc has called on stakeholders across industries to accelerate actions toward creating a more inclusive society without limitations.
The call from the bank came as the Unity Bank Women Network hosted a webinar to mark this year’s International Women’s Day, with the theme: “Unleashing Women’s Potential.”
During the webinar, Unity Bank Plc reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment with a series of high-impact initiatives designed to inspire action toward gender equality and sustainable development.
The webinar featured influential female leaders who shared perspectives on women’s leadership, financial inclusion, and breaking barriers in male-dominated industries, while also providing an opportunity for professionals, entrepreneurs, and young women to gain valuable insights into personal and professional development.
The bank also spotlighted women making significant contributions to their communities, particularly those driving change through education, mentorship, and financial empowerment.
Among them were Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin, a trailblazer empowering girls through technology; Tejumoluwa Olaobaju, an advocate leading the fight against period poverty in her community; and Chioma Ohakwe, a champion of inclusivity and women’s empowerment through targeted skill acquisition programmes for girls and women.
