The financial services company Leadway has launched a dedicated initiative called Hersurred aimed at empowering women.
During the unveiling ceremony in Lagos on Friday, it was highlighted that this community is dynamic and aimed at empowering women to excel in their businesses, personal lives, and all aspects of existence.
At an event held for the Leadway Group, Kunbi Adeoti, who serves as the Chief People Experience Officer, commented that society must take further steps to support and empower women.
She stated, “By establishing this community today, which transcends the usual operations of Leadway within society, our aim is to support women who wish to achieve financial independence, establish businesses, and advance their careers. As we move forward, Leadway will continue developing products designed to facilitate these goals. We are committed to introducing an increasing number of offerings tailored explicitly for women to aid them throughout their journeys.”
The Secretary of the Lagos State Government, ‘Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, who was represented by Anthonia Oredipe, urged the private sector to support governmental efforts aimed at empowering women.
Lagos supports her, yet we must acknowledge that governmental efforts alone are insufficient. Genuine transformation occurs when the private sector, communities, and individuals come together to foster environments where women not only participate but also flourish. That’s why I commend Leadway for founding Hersurred.
This goes beyond merely coming together; it’s a movement that assures every woman, irrespective of her origins, that she possesses the necessary backing to thrive.
During a panel discussion at the event, Tosin Olaseinde, who founded MoneyAfrica and Ladder, emphasized the importance of women moving towards making investment choices rather than just saving money.
Olaseinde mentioned that women excel at saving money, yet tend to avoid taking risks. He stated, “While saving is excellent, building significant wealth requires investing with some level of risk. Transitioning from being cautious savers to bold investors demands considerable effort, but once they do, they become exceptional investors. The primary danger lies in potentially assuming excessive risks which could lead to substantial losses. Nonetheless, since women are adept at managing risks, all that’s needed is for them to make this shift.”
The managing director of Gas Ventures, Neconde Energy Limited, Engineer Chichi Emenike, aligned with the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day celebration, ‘Accelerate Action’, and challenged women to rise to the occasion wherever they find themselves.
“Regardless of the sector you’re in, remember that business is all about business; it shouldn’t turn into a discussion about gender. Meeting your key performance objectives is crucial. Continuous improvement is essential,” she stated.

A clergyman from the U.S., Bishop Kenneth Obi, finds himself stuck in Nigeria as he expresses frustration over an American carrier, Delta Airlines, denying him permission to boarded his return flight to the United States.
Obi came to Nigeria on February 18 for a church celebration and took part in an event in Edo State from February 19 to 21. Afterward, he traveled to Imo State for another engagement from March 5 to 9.
On March 12, as he prepared to depart from Imo State, the clergyman mentioned that his green card could not be found during his preparations.
Obi who spoke to PUNCH Metro on Saturday however said the e-copy of the green card and other travel documents he presented on getting to the airport were rejected.
He stated, “I traveled to Nigeria from the United States, where I’ve resided for more than four decades, arriving here on February 18th for our church’s anniversary celebration. The initial event took place in Edo between February 19th and 21st. Following this, I moved on to Imo State for another part of the celebrations running from March 5th through March 9th. After concluding these events, I made plans to depart as I possessed a return ticket; having flown out from Atlanta on February 17th, I returned again on March 19th.”
On March 12, as I prepared to depart from Imo State, I realized my green card was missing. Consequently, I filed a police report and obtained an affidavit. The police then provided a digital copy of my green card. Afterward, I traveled to Lagos for my flight, which was scheduled on March 19. However, the flight ended up being canceled. In response, I contacted one of the airline’s managers and shared my circumstances; subsequently, they directed me to the embassy.
As he reported, the embassy staff verified the authenticity of his paperwork and mentioned that the carrier ought to permit him to travel.
Nevertheless, he mentioned that the airline staff declined, emphasizing that he required official travel papers from the embassy prior to his departure.
“So, I returned to the embassy where they informed me that if the airline refused to board me, I would have to start obtaining travel documents. However, they didn’t mention how long this procedure might take,” he explained.
Frustrated with the holdup, Obi mentioned that his extended time in Nigeria was leading to significant financial and emotional strain for him.
He similarly urged the relevant authorities to step in regarding his predicament.
I’ve resided in the United States for over four decades and have held a green card for more than 38 years. Currently, I’m feeling quite perplexed, and I trust that the relevant agencies will address this matter at their earliest convenience.
“I possess all the necessary documents, yet I lack the actual green card. This situation is extremely frustrating as my ongoing presence here could cause significant difficulties for both me and my family who reside in the United States,” he said additionally.
In response, Delta Airlines issued a statement through its management on Sunday that was reviewed by our correspondent. The airline clarified that photocopied versions of original travel documents would not be accepted for international journeys.
It was further stated that the traveler was instructed to go to the U.S. Embassy to acquire the required travel documents following routine protocol.
Delta wishes to provide clarification concerning a recent query from a passenger. This person submitted a copy of their U.S. Green Card when checking in, mentioning that they had misplaced the original document in Nigeria. According to global aviation rules, carriers can only recognize original travel papers, including passports and residency permits. Copies do not meet the requirements for international journeys.
Following established protocols, we recommended that the passenger go to the U.S. Embassy to acquire the essential travel documents. After he came back, he told us that the embassy needed extra time to review his application. Consequently, he asked the airline to forward an electronic copy of his paperwork to the U.S. officials for their validation.
Our team stressed again that he had two feasible choices: either wait at the current location for the embassy’s reply or go back to the embassy to stress how urgent his travel circumstances were. Since the embassy is the entity responsible for issuance, they alone have the capability to issue the required transit letter or new documentation.
Nevertheless, the airline guaranteed the passenger that his ticket would stay valid until he secured the necessary travel documentation.
“According to worldwide airline policies, international carriers do not allow photocopies of travel documents or passports for check-in procedures. Delta continues to adhere strictly to these international travel rules while also providing top-notch assistance to our travelers. We advise all passengers to confirm their document needs prior to reaching the airport so as to prevent any potential issues,” the statement concluded.

New research suggests that thousands of lives could potentially be saved by using a combination of statins and another medication for lowering cholesterol levels.
The most extensive study to investigate how to reduce levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol in individuals with clogged arteries indicates that these patients should promptly receive a combination treatment of a statin and an additional medication known as ezetimibe, instead of relying solely on statins.
Combination therapy ought to be regarded as the premier approach for treating patients who have experienced a heart attack, potentially preventing numerous fatalities annually, according to researchers.
Scientists examined the results from 14 prior investigations that included data on 108,353 individuals with an extremely high likelihood of experiencing a heart attack or stroke, as well as those who had already undergone such events.
The research, featured in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings, indicated that combining ezetimibe with a high dosage of statins to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels resulted in a significant 19 percent decrease in mortality from all causes.
There was additionally a 16 percent decrease in fatalities due to cardiovascular issues, along with a notable reduction of 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively, in significant adverse cardiovascular incidents and strokes when compared to treatment with high-dose statins alone.
The study’s co-author, Professor Peter Toth from the University of Illinois in the US, stated, “This research supports the idea that immediate combination cholesterol-lowering therapy must be regarded as the benchmark for treating individuals at extremely high risk following an acute cardiovascular incident.”

Asian markets fluctuated on Monday as the White House plans to introduce tariffs on major trade partners starting next week, with concerns that these measures might inflict significant damage on the worldwide economy.
A report indicating that U.S. President Donald Trump was contemplating a more focused strategy for the tariffs scheduled to take effect on April 2nd failed to calm investors’ concerns, as the ambiguity undermined their confidence.
Since regaining power in January, the U.S. president has unsettled financial markets by criticizing longtime allies and implementing or threatening significant tariffs on various imported products such as steel and automobiles.
The upcoming Wednesday has become the center of interest, with Trump dubbing it “Liberation Day” as he gets ready to announce a series of retaliatory actions aimed at responding to what other nations have implemented.
“Ahead of Trump’s ‘Freedom Day’ scheduled for April 2nd, along with the subsequent wave of tariff-related statements expected in the coming days or weeks, anticipation and preparedness will increasingly influence market prices, investor sentiments, and trading volumes this week,” noted Chris Weston from Pepperstone.
As the sky turns darker and starts to show signs of bruising, with increasing atmospheric pressure felt across the capital markets, participants wonder whether they should prepare for an approaching storm of uncertainty by securing their positions.
Last week, the Federal Reserve cautioned that “the uncertainty surrounding the economic forecast has grown.” Similarly, the central banks of Japan and Britain expressed concerns regarding the effects of the White House’s policies.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang said at the weekend that Beijing was readying for “shocks that exceed expectations” ahead of the latest measures, adding that “instability and uncertainty are on the upswing”.
As he held meetings with leaders from several of the globe’s largest corporations, such as Apple, Qualcomm, FedEx, and Pfizer, his remarks were made public.
Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers informed Bloomberg News that the actions taken by Trump are “not unexpected, yet they are transformative.”
According to Bloomberg News, the U.S. administration was contemplating a more selective strategy regarding tariffs, where certain nations would be affected more significantly than others, and the actions were anticipated to be less harsh compared to initial expectations.
This followed when the president informed reporters on Friday that he would show “flexibility” in his proposals.
Nevertheless, Asian investors found it difficult to kick-start the week on a positive note as markets seesawed throughout the morning.
Tokyo was flat, while Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei were slightly higher.
Hong Kong, Sydney, Seoul, and Wellington saw slight declines.
Gold traded near $3,025 after reaching several all-time highs the previous week, peaking above $3,057 due to increased demand for safe-haven assets.

On March 22, 2025, Addis Ababa — Ministers from East African nations emphasized during an event in Addis Ababa that the abundant cultural diversity within the region stands not just as a matter of great pride but also functions as a potent binding agent, fostering unity among communities throughout both their own area and the broader expanse of Africa.
Through communal dancing and indigenous musical traditions to distinctive creative forms, cultural heritage connects countries, promoting increased collaboration and unity across East Africa and further afield.
The recently launched second edition of the East Africa Art and Culture Festival took place at the Addis International Convention Center in Addis Ababa, offering an energetic stage to demonstrate this sense of unity.
The festival with the theme “Art and Culture for Regional Unity” highlighted the shared cultural elements that connect East African countries and showcased their individual customs as well.
The event included an extensive array of activities such as conferences, symposiums, cultural displays, circus acts, traditional dishes, fashion presentations, musical performances, movie screenings, theatrical productions, and book expos.
The event was designed not just to display the vibrant artistic legacy of East African countries but also to foster regional collaboration and solidarity.
Notable among those present was Burundi’s Minister for Youth, Sports, and Culture, Ambassador Gervais Abayeho, who highlighted how cultural diversity can promote solidarity.
He stated to the Ethiopian News Agency, “Our cultural heritage’s diversity actually serves as a unifying element for the people of East Africa and across the continent.”
The Minister pointed out the resemblances in cultural dances among various nations, mentioning that Ethiopian dance forms, for instance, have shared characteristics with those found in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and as far as South Africa.
Ambassador Abayeho also highlighted the distinctive nature of Burundi’s cultural legacy, notably its renowned drums, acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage.
“He stated that this is something we can take pride in,” noting that cultural expressions such as dance and music act as connectors between East Africa and regions further afield.
Lucy Atto, who serves as the Assistant Commissioner at Uganda’s Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development, voiced comparable views, highlighting the common cultural traditions found throughout various countries in Africa.
“African cultures are quite similar. We maintain borders more out of necessity than anything else, yet our dances, musical instruments, and overall essence remain alike. It serves as a reminder of our common heritage,” she stated.
The South Sudanese Minister of Culture, Museums, and National Heritage, Dr. Nadia Arop Dudi, likewise conveyed her appreciation to Ethiopia for organizing the festival, noting that this was a crucial occasion for East Africa.
She stated that this event has motivated them to recognize that East Africa, and indeed the entire continent of Africa, possess a distinctive culture characterized by an abundant cultural diversity which stands unparalleled across the globe.
Ngabo Braive, who serves as the Permanent Secretary at Rwanda’s Ministry of Youth and Culture, highlighted the significance of these festivals for promoting cross-cultural exchanges both regionally and internationally.
“This festival is vital as it enables us to showcase our culture and simultaneously fortifies our bonds, emphasizing the commonalities among our various traditions,” he stated.
He also urged for an increase in the number of festivals throughout East Africa, with the ultimate aim of hosting them internationally to showcase East African cultures on a global scale.
The East Africa Art and Culture Festival, launched in 2022, keeps playing an essential part in showcasing the area’s rich arts and culture scene as well as promoting regional unity.
This occasion serves as an example of how cultural variety can be a strong catalyst for unity and collaboration throughout the region.
