Heirs Insurance and United Capital Partner for Exclusive Women's Wellness and Financial Event
Heirs Insurance Group, Nigeria's fastest-growing insurance provider, and United Capital Plc, a leading Pan-African investment bank and financial services group, have joined forces to host a groundbreaking event aimed at ambitious women. The Yoga and Money Meet Up was an exclusive wellness and financial empowerment gathering held recently in Lagos, designed to address the unique challenges faced by Nigerian women balancing careers, businesses, and family responsibilities.
Bridging Wellness and Financial Security
The event offered a carefully curated experience that seamlessly blended guided yoga and stress management sessions with expert-led conversations about insurance, investment strategies, and asset protection. This innovative approach reflects both organizations' commitment to making financial wellness both relevant and accessible to Nigerian women, recognizing that personal well-being and financial security are deeply interconnected.
Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, Chief Marketing Officer at Heirs Insurance Group, emphasized the critical link between insurance and comprehensive wellness during the event. "Self-care extends beyond mere indulgence; it involves making deliberate choices that safeguard one's physical, mental, and financial well-being—and insurance plays a fundamental role in that protection," she stated. "For numerous women managing multiple responsibilities, this event directly addresses a significant concern: how to effectively protect assets while navigating life's demands."
Specialized Financial Products for Women
During the gathering, Okoli-Okpagu introduced the HerMotor insurance plan, a product specifically designed for ambitious women seeking more than traditional insurance coverage. This unique offering provides comprehensive motor insurance against various risks including:
- Accidents and collisions
- Fire damage
- Theft and vandalism
- Other unforeseen incidents causing vehicle loss
An additional benefit includes 24/7 emergency roadside assistance exclusively for female car owners during breakdowns resulting from accidents or mechanical failures. Delivered in partnership with AA Rescue, this industry-first solution also features a robust reward program allowing customers to access discounts from spas, wellness programs, and various lifestyle benefits.
Commitment to Women's Financial Empowerment
Dr. Odiri Oginni, Managing Director of United Capital Asset Management, highlighted the collaborative nature of the initiative. "Empowerment forms the core of our mission, and co-creating this initiative that directly addresses the financial realities confronting Nigerian women further emphasizes this commitment," she explained. "We recognize that financial independence and personal wellness are profoundly connected. By creating opportunities that bring both elements together, we reinforce our dedication to empowering women to confidently pursue and achieve their aspirations."
This vision inspired the creation of United Capital's Wealth for Women Fund, which provides women with a secure and accessible avenue to invest intelligently and build long-term financial security through structured investment opportunities.
