Zenith Bank launches Girl-Child Empowerment virtual event Oct 12

Sponsored content: Zenith Bank Plc is set to launch the maiden edition of its Girl-Child Empowerment Programme, themed “Banking On Her Tomorrow,” a virtual event on Monday, October 12, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., a day after the International Day of the Girl Child. The initiative, conceived by Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Dame Dr. Adaora Umeoji, OON—the first female GMD/CEO in Zenith Bank’s history—aims to inspire girls to dream boldly, build skills and confidence, and prepare for future opportunities through expert-led sessions on education, career navigation, skills development, mentorship and leadership. As an annual platform, it will help girls recognize their potential, broaden aspirations and make informed choices about their future. The programme builds on Zenith Bank’s existing women‑focused initiatives, including the International Women’s Day Seminar, sponsorship of the Zenith Women’s Basketball League, the Women of Honour Awards with the Ford Foundation, the Pad‑a‑Queen Initiative and the Z‑Woman programme that supports women‑owned businesses with funding, capacity building and networking. The event is open to girls, parents, educators and the wider public; interested participants can register via the link provided (registration details not specified in the source) and those unable to join Zoom can follow the live stream on Zenith Bank’s social media platforms.
