Polaris Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment.
The bank said this at its International Women’s Day (IWD) Seminar, themed: ‘Accelerating Action: Breaking Barriers & Creating Equal Opportunities.’
The event provided a platform for thought leaders, professionals, and advocates to emphasise the urgent need to accelerate action towards gender equality by breaking barriers and creating equal opportunities for women across all sectors.
Speaking at the event, executive director, Polaris Bank, Mrs. Abimbola Ozomah said, “International Women’s Day is a moment to recognise the remarkable achievements, contributions, and struggles of women throughout history and across all sectors of society. However, it is also a call to action.
“This year’s theme urges us to take swift and decisive steps toward achieving gender equality by breaking down systemic barriers and biases that hinder women’s progress.”
Reinforcing Polaris Bank’s commitment to gender inclusivity, Ozomah, stated that, “at Polaris Bank, we believe that real progress happens when organisations go beyond conversation and actively implement policies that support women’s growth. Empowering women and ensuring their inclusion in every sphere of society, is at the core of our values.”
In her experience sharing session, the non-executive director with Polaris Bank, Ayaba Ayo-Joseph, advocated that, women should be supportive of each other.
She noted that economic independence for women, stepping out into leadership roles as we need more women in leadership positions, advocating for gender-friendly workspaces, being a mentor to uplift others, practicing self-care, creating safe spaces for women, collaborating with other women to build strength in unity, and being digitally savvy to leverage technology for growth.
Also, non-executive director, Polaris Bank, Mrs. Subulade Giwa-Amu, said success is built on character, resilience, and purpose. “Challenges will arise, but integrity is the key to overcoming them,” she said.
She also highlighted the importance of financial independence and self-investment, adding,“Financial independence starts with vision and focus. Work-life balance is essential, but prioritisation is crucial at different stages of life.”

She further advised women to continuously invest in themselves, saying, “Invest in yourself, continuous learning and personal growth are non-negotiable for success.”

Executive director, Muazu Africa, Tolulope Makinwa-Adeniyi reiterated the power of relationships and personal development, saying “relationships are invaluable. Express admiration, nurture connections, and build a network that will open doors for you.”

MD/CEO of Parthian Partners, Ndidi Ukaonu stated that, “it is time to move beyond discussions about gender equality and start implementing real change.”
