UBA to Commemorate IWD 2025 with Special Business Series

United Bank for Africa (UBA) has announced plans to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 with a special edition of its Business Series, aimed at empowering female entrepreneurs and professionals. The initiative will provide women with valuable insights, financial literacy, and networking opportunities to support their business growth and career advancement.

According to UBA, the IWD Business Series will feature expert-led discussions on financial management, business sustainability, and leadership development. The event will bring together successful women in business, finance, and technology to share their experiences and offer practical guidance to aspiring entrepreneurs.

UBA has been at the forefront of promoting financial inclusion for women through various initiatives, including access to credit, mentorship programs, and digital banking solutions tailored to female-led enterprises. The bank’s Women’s Banking Proposition offers specialized services that help women scale their businesses and achieve financial independence.

Stakeholders have praised UBA’s continued efforts in supporting women’s economic participation, emphasizing the need for sustained investment in programs that provide access to funding, skills development, and market opportunities. Many believe that corporate-backed initiatives like UBA’s Business Series play a vital role in addressing gender disparities in entrepreneurship and employment.

The bank reaffirmed its commitment to fostering gender equality in the financial sector and beyond, pledging to expand its support for women-led businesses through innovative banking solutions and strategic partnerships. As IWD 2025 approaches, UBA’s initiative is expected to empower more women with the tools and resources needed to thrive in today’s competitive business environment.
