Dr. Oluwayemisi Olorunshola, Chairman of Wema Bank Plc, and Mr. Moruf Oseni, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, led the anniversary celebration with great honour, pledging continued commitment to digital innovation, inclusive banking, and customer-focused service.

Delivering her welcome address, the Chairman, Dr. Olorunshola reflected on Wema Bank’s 80-year journey and its transformational role in Nigeria’s banking industry. She emphasised the Bank’s focus on women empowerment, particularly through SARA by Wema, an initiative that has reached over 400,000 unbanked women, disbursed ₦75 billion in low-interest loans, and created over 900 jobs.

“My journey is a testimony to what’s possible when women are empowered. Wema Bank is walking the talk in championing gender inclusion,” she said.

He further reiterated the Bank’s commitment to keep up the good work and consistently stand as a pillar of support for the Nigerian populace, its businesses and the economy at large.

“Wema Bank is 80 years strong—and still driven by purpose, innovation and people. Our legacy is one of trust, and the future holds even more promise,” Oseni said.
