With this commitment, the bank aims to empower its women clients by financing projects owned or managed by women.
The theme: Financing Women to thrive in the Real Estate Industry,” captured its vision of this initiative.
It showcased the bank’s dedication to fostering gender diversity and inclusivity in real estate. The panellists, representing diverse expertise, included Tosin Ajose, prominent business lawyer at DealHQ Partners; Mrs. Eunice Obasohan, Chief Executive Officer of Lily Homes; Olabisi Omotayo Demola-Alade, former chairman of Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers; Mrs. Tokunbo Sherifat Sule-Owuda, architect and owner of Walsher DB; and Lolita Ejiofor, general manager and group head of IT & Operations at Abbey.
Ejiofor shared her insight, saying: “At Abbey Mortgage Bank, we believe economic empowerment knows no gender bounds. WIRE is not just a financial service; it’s a platform for women to overcome obstacles and redefine the real estate landscape. We are paving the way for women to excel, lead and create impact not in Nigeria, and Africa.”
The launch, which was live-streamed, reached aspiring women entrepreneurs in the country.
“The response and engagement from women participants in the virtual launch were a testament to the need for such a financial product in the real estate industry.”
