Represented by the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman Ibrahim, the First Lady commended the bank’s management for its continued commitment to inclusive economic growth and nation-building, particularly through their focus on empowering women, youth, and entrepreneurs.
In a statement by the Minister’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Jonathan Eze, Mrs Tinubu noted that only few organizations transcend generations, evolving with the times while staying true to their mission, but Wema Bank had shown that with purpose, innovation, and resilience, an institution can not only endure but lead.
She said: ‘You will all agree with me, that eight decades of un-interrupted operation in Nigeria’s dynamic economic landscape is an accomplishment worthy of high recognition. But beyond your longevity, what stands out, particularly to us in the women’s movement, is your deliberate focus on inclusion, equity, and empowerment.
