Among the winners were Ogechukwu Patience Ani from Aba, Vanessa Chiamaka Ogbonna from Lagos and Mubarakaht Abisola Alowonle from Bodija, Ibadan, all of whom won N1 million. Others included eight individual domiciliary account holders who won N250,000 each, 40 women who won 100,000 each and 80 who won N25,000 each. The women’s month draw closed out excellently, financially empowering Nigerian women from across the country as the women’s month draws to an end. “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. But for us, this journey has not been a one size fits all,” the chief executive of Wema Bank, Mr Moruf Oseni, stated. “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 customised solutions and initiatives designed for women. “We have simply leveraged the 5 for 5 Promo as one more way of supporting our women this women’s month. For us, it’s all about impact, and we are delighted to have put smiles on the faces of Nigerian women from all across the country. That is the joy for us,” he added. “To the 131 women who emerged winners, I say 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,” Mr Oseni concluded. Introduced in 2021, the 5 for 5 promo is Wema Bank’s dedicated avenue for rewarding its customers for their active loyalty to the brand, its products, and its offerings. For 3 seasons, the lender has disbursed over N150 million to 2,378 Nigerians across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria, returning bigger than ever for season 4 with a N135 million cash prize. Since the season kicked off in October 2024, Wema Bank has disbursed over N50 million to its customers across daily, weekly and monthly draws. For the 5th monthly draw in March, the bank took a thoughtful step, disbursing the total N11 million cash prize to an all-women pool of winners.
