The Nigerian Export-Import Bank has called for more investment in women, which it believes will go a long way in bringing more growth and development to the country.
The Managing Director/CEO of NEXIM Bank, Abba Bello, made the call in Abuja on Friday, on the occasion of the 2024 International Women’s Day (IWD) themed “Inspire Inclusion,” saying that the Nigerian Export-Import Bank will spare no effort toward improving the welfare of women, as well as protecting their rights and advancing their causes.
He expressed that any society that wants to grow has to include women in all economic and entrepreneurial drives.
According to him, on this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the extraordinary women who are the driving force behind NEXIM Bank.
“I believe in the power of women to break barriers and empower other women to lead in their communities.
“I want to call on all women in Nigeria to keep fighting for inclusion until their needs are met.
“The Managing Director then acknowledged the challenges faced by women, especially in the context of inclusion and justice, urging them not to lose focus but to always fight for their rights.
Mr. Bello recognized the role of women in nation-building, emphasizing that Nigerian women are elemental to the nation’s development, growth, and greatness.
He, however, said that NEXIM Bank will redouble its efforts toward creating programs and initiatives that uplift and support women more.
Also speaking, the Executive Director of Business Development of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank, Hon. Stella Okotete, reiterated that women should not lose focus but should go for what they want in life.
She called on men that, rather than treating the women working under them as tea girls, they should engage with them more to help them achieve their goals in life.
In her presentation, one of the special guests of honor, Coach Naomi Osemudia, urged women to invest in capacity building, empowerment, and engagement, among other things.
According to her, you can’t sit in the comfort of your zone and expect inclusion.
Also, Senior Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on citizenship and leadership, Sola Abiola, sought the coming together and collaboration of women to have a better life for themselves and the country at large.
