Not fewer than 131 women have been empowered by Wema Bank with over N11 million in celebration of women in March 2025.
The bank disbursed the money to the women through its 5 for 5 Promo draws held on Friday, March 21, 2025, in Aba, Abia State.
Introduced in 2021, the 5 for 5 Promo is Wema Bank’s avenue for rewarding customers for their active loyalty to the brand, its products, and offerings. Over the course of 3 seasons, the 5 for 5 Promo disbursed over N150 million to 2,378 across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
Among the 131 winners were Ogechukwu Patience Ani from Aba, where the draw was held, Vanessa Chiamaka Ogbonna from Lagos and Mubarakaht Abisola Alowonle from Bodija; all of whom won N1,000,000 each.

Others included 8 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.
Moruf Oseni, Wema Bank’s MD/CEO, congratulated the winners and reiterated the bank’s commitment to empowering women to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
According to him, “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”.
“In recognition of the gap that exists in gender equality, we have intentionally created tailored opportunities for women through our women-focused proposition, SARA by Wema, and our vast range of customised solutions and initiatives designed for women,” Oseni said.
