Heirs Insurance Group, in partnership with United Capital Plc, recently organised a special event focused on improving the financial well-being of women in Nigeria. The programme, held in Lagos, brought together professionals and entrepreneurs for a unique blend of wellness activities and financial education.
The initiative, known as the “Yoga and Money Meet Up,” was designed to help women better understand how to manage their finances while also prioritising their physical and mental health. Participants took part in guided yoga sessions and stress management exercises, alongside expert discussions on insurance, investment, and protecting personal assets.
The organisers explained that the event reflects a growing recognition that financial stability and personal wellness are closely connected. Many women today juggle demanding careers, businesses, and family responsibilities, making it essential to find balance across different aspects of life. By combining wellness with financial literacy, the event aimed to address these everyday challenges in a practical way.
Speaking during the event, the Chief Marketing Officer of Heirs Insurance Group, Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, highlighted the importance of making thoughtful decisions that secure overall well-being. She said, “Self-care is not just about indulgence; it is about making deliberate choices that safeguard one’s physical, mental, and financial well-being, and insurance is fundamental to that.”
She further noted that many women face the challenge of protecting their assets while managing multiple responsibilities at once. According to her, “For many women juggling careers, businesses, and family, this event addresses a significant pain point: how we protect our assets while still juggling life.”
In addition to wellness sessions, the event also served as a platform to deepen financial knowledge among participants. Experts shared insights on how women can build long-term wealth through smart investments and proper insurance coverage. The goal was to equip attendees with practical tools to make better financial decisions and achieve greater financial independence.
United Capital also emphasised its commitment to supporting women through initiatives that promote financial inclusion. A representative of the company explained that empowering women financially goes beyond providing services; it involves creating opportunities that help them grow and succeed.
Speaking on behalf of the organisation, a senior executive said, “Empowerment is at the core of what we do, and co-creating on an initiative that directly addresses the financial realities facing Nigerian women further emphasises this.”
The collaboration between both companies highlights a broader effort to make financial education more accessible and relevant, especially for women. By combining lifestyle experiences with practical financial guidance, the organisers hope to inspire more women to take control of their financial futures.
Overall, the event reinforced the idea that true well-being goes beyond physical health. It includes financial security, informed decision-making, and the confidence to plan for the future. Through initiatives like this, Heirs Insurance and United Capital are working to bridge the gap between wellness and wealth creation for women across Nigeria.
