As the United Nations marks International Women’s Day (IWD) today, leading investment immigration wealth management company, Optiva Capital Partners, joins the world to commemorate the day dedicated to upholding “women’s achievements, recognize challenges and focus greater attention on women’s rights and gender equality.”
In a statement to mark the day, signed by the Managing Director/CEO of Optiva Capital Partners, Dr Jane Kimemia, entitled ‘Optiva Capital Partners Joins the World to Mark the International Women’s Day’ the company expressed its solidarity with the United Nations for its “commitment to spotlight women, their issues and social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, while also imploring action for accelerating women’s equality.”
Kimemia re-affirmed the commitment of Optiva Capital Partners to the empowerment of women.
According to the Managing Director, “at Optiva Capital Partners, over seventy percent of our workforce is women. The company is daily committed to empowering our workforce, seventy percent of whom are women, creating opportunities for them to serve, to get better, and to grow their career.” She noted that “when you raise one woman you raise a generation, because one woman impacts at least five people. So in a workforce of over 1000 people out of which 70 per cent are women the multiplier effect is better imagined.”
Dr. Kimemia further stated that “more importantly for us at Optiva Capital Partners is the promotion of diversity in leadership and decision-making positions. By championing inclusion in our leadership, Optiva Capital Partners is harnessing the full potential of diverse perspectives, leading to better decision-making and innovation. The crop of our leadership is predominantly women who consistently propel our remarkable growth.”
Beyond the recognition, celebration, and empowerment of women workforce, Optiva Capital Partners is also deeply committed to issues that affect women, especially the down-trodden. The company is involved in community service programs such as its initiative with the Lagos State government in maternal health.
Basically, it is to address maternal health care and reduce maternal mortality rate in Nigeria because different World Health organization reports state that Nigeria contributes up to ten percent of the global maternal death.
