Standard Chartered Bank (Nigeria) Limited, for the third consecutive year, has participated as a gold sponsor of the annual Women in Management, Business (WIMBIZ) and Public Service Conference.

The bank said in a statement that the sponsorship reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to advancing gender equality, leadership development and economic empowerment for women across Nigeria.

Now in its 24th year, the conference is one of Africa’s largest gatherings of professional and entrepreneurial women, convening thought leaders, innovators and change makers to share insights, inspire action and shape conversations on leadership, inclusion and nation-building.

As a gold sponsor of this year’s edition, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria continues to champion initiatives that support women’s participation and representation in business, finance and public life, it said.

The partnership underscores the bank’s commitment to driving inclusive growth and unlocking opportunities for women to thrive across sectors.

Representing the bank at the conference, Executive Director, Compliance, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria, Olusiji Adeyinka, participated as a panellist discussing ‘Rethink, Reframe, Revitalise: The Power of Intergenerational Collaboration’’.

“Every generation contributes its unique and valuable skills. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a harmonious equilibrium that fosters sustainable collaboration and not competition,” Siji said.

“At Standard Chartered, we believe that empowering women is not only the right thing to do — it is also smart economics. Our collaboration with WIMBIZ aligns with our purpose to drive commerce and prosperity through diversity and inclusion. We are proud to stand with an organisation that continues to inspire, equip, and elevate women to lead transformational change in society,” he added.
