Nimi Akinkugbe partners with AXA Mansard SHE Initiative for a Personal Finance Workshop for Ladies | Saturday, March 24th

African women have been referred to as the continents “greatest untapped resource” and their contribution is key to achieving her full potential. When you empower a woman with information and education, you empower families and generations to change the world. Women bring something critical to the economy, civil society and politics.

Traditional gender roles have presented household income from a perspective where women were expected to stay at home and look after children. The economic reality today shows that most families must rely on more than one income to achieve even the most basic family goals of educating children, modest living, and planning for one’s retirement.

For many years, Nigerian women have made huge strides in business, corporate world and government. They continue to strengthen their earning power and influence. Power and position come with responsibility, yet sadly many women still feel ill-equipped to make bold financial decisions. If women ignore their personal finances, it is likely that they will be forced to face these issues at a time of crisis such as the illness, divorce or unexpected death of their spouse. Whilst the general principles of personal financial planning apply to both genders, women face unique challenges that should be addressed specially.
