Stanbic IBTC Bank hosts Bloom Weekend for Womenpreneurs

Intending to create more and better opportunities, Stanbic IBTC Bank has hosted its Bloom Weekend in order to empower womenpreneurs (women entrepreneurs).

The event took place at the Landmark Event Centre where participants alongside experts gave advice to women for grabbing opportunities in the Blue Blossom community which serves for their development.

Several components like yoga session, village market, the Ladies At The Table Empowerment Series (LATTES), an all-day trade fair, and Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME) masterclasses were featured during the event.

Bunmi Oke, Ladybird Advertising Limited’s Chief Executive Officer/Lead Consultant gave tasks to women to prioritise planning for achieving whatever they desire over all different verticals of their lives. She said, “We as women must always support ourselves, we must realise that it is a privilege and with privilege comes opportunity and that’s why we do programmes like this, to give back.”

She added, “At Stanbic IBTC, this is how we are impacting women, we are helping to stand and support them as business owners and as the saying goes when women succeed, communities are impacted, communities prosper, communities thrive, and nations prosper. The outcome for us is to see women in the Bloom Community grow and see it in their businesses and it shows that we are growing and continuing this journey with them. We want to see this empowerment feature in how they are thriving and growing.”
