Wema Bank celebrates 80 years of innovation, gifts customers N14m

Not fewer than 88 customers of Wema Bank received cash prizes of over N14 million as part of the bank’s 80th-anniversary celebrations.

The anniversary reward scheme tagged ‘80-For-80’ campaign, which began on April 17, culminated in a grand gala held in Lagos. At the event, eight customers each received N1 million, while 80 other lucky winners took home N80,000 each.

The giveaway was a grand finale to the bank’s customer appreciation initiative, which aimed to celebrate the bank’s loyal customers.

Moruf Oseni, managing director/ CEO of Wema Bank, who presented dummy cheques to the winners, reiterated the lender’s commitment to continue impacting lives.

Oseni said, “Reaching 80 years is a celebration of longevity and a testament to the resilience of our brand and the trust of the people we serve. We chose to give back in this way because our customers are the heartbeat of our success. It gives us great joy to know that this celebration is also about the lives we can touch. At Wema Bank, every milestone is an opportunity to show appreciation and deepen our connection with the people who make our journey possible.”

Kazeem Lawan, one of the eight winners, said: “Being among the 80th-anniversary raffle draw winners was completely unexpected. Hearing my name announced as a winner was surreal. I’m grateful for the surprise and thrilled to have been part of celebration.
