Oyo State government has presented an award to Heritage Bank Limited for its commitment to women empowerment. The bank was bestowed with the special appreciation award at the 5th edition of a summit organised under the auspices of the Oyo State Officials’ Wives Association (OYSOWA), under the leadership of the governor’s wife, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi.
The three-day summit entitled: “The Ultimate Woman at a Time Like This,” was held at the Emeritus Theophilus Ogunlesi Multipurpose Hall, Opposite UCH Gate, Ibadan.
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Bank, Dr. Ifie Sekibo, in appreciation of the award, stated that the bank’s supports toward women entrepreneurs reinforced its belief in small businesses and their importance to economic growth of the economy.
He said: “Heritage Bank recognizes the importance of women in the society, especially in the economy, and this informs its commitment to women empowerment. Our mission is to help women succeed in business and in life.
“We believe that with the right motivation and resources, more women in Africa and in Nigeria can achieve the enviable success that many women across the world have achieved.
At Heritage Bank, we have committed ourselves to providing these capacity and resources to empower and motivate women across the country.” Women empowerment, according to him, was informed by the need to advance the Nigerian woman’s confidence and also teach her to find a balance between living the life she wants and securing her financial future.
The hostess and leader of OYSOWA, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, described the summit as a landmark for two reasons: “The first is that this is the fifth edition of the summit and it is so amazing that this small idea that was conceived a few years ago has become a reference point.
