Heirs Insurance Group, Nigeria’s fastest-growing insurance group, and United Capital Plc, a leading Pan-African investment bank and financial services group, recently hosted the Yoga and Money Meet Up, an exclusive wellness and financial empowerment event for ambitious women.
The event, which was held in Lagos, offered a curated experience combining guided yoga and stress management sessions with expert-led conversations on insurance, investment and asset protection. The event reinforced Heirs Insurance Group’s and United Capital’s commitment to making financial wellness relevant and accessible to Nigerian women.
Speaking on the initiative, Chief Marketing Officer at Heirs Insurance Group, Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, underscored the strong link between insurance and wellness: “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. For many women juggling careers, businesses, and family, this event addresses a significant pain point: how we protect our assets while still juggling life.”
She introduced HerMotor insurance plan, designed for ambitious women who need more than just insurance. The unique product offers comprehensive motor coverage against accidents, fire, theft, and other unforeseen incidents that cause loss to the policyholder’s car. An added benefit is the 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for female car owners during car breakdowns arising from accidents or mechanical faults.
The first-of-its-kind solution in the industry is delivered in partnership with AA Rescue and includes a robust reward programme, where customers can access discounts from spas, wellness programmes, and more.
Managing Director, United Capital Asset Management, Dr Odiri Oginni, added that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to women’s empowerment.
He 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. We recognise that financial independence and personal wellness are deeply interconnected, and by creating opportunities that bring both together, we are reinforcing our commitment to empowering women to confidently pursue and achieve their dreams. This vision informed the creation of our Wealth for Women Fund, which provides women with a secure and accessible avenue to invest smartly and build long-term financial security.”
The Yoga and Money Meet Up reflects a joint vision to empower Nigerian women through financial education and protection.
