BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—-Heirs Insurance Group and United Capital Plc have hosted the Yoga and Money Meet Up, an exclusive wellness and financial empowerment event for ambitious women.
The event, held in Lagos, offered a curated experience that combined guided yoga and stress management sessions with expert-led conversations on insurance, investment, and asset protection. It reinforced both companies’ commitment to making financial wellness relevant and accessible to Nigerian women.
Speaking on the initiative, Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, Chief Marketing Officer at Heirs Insurance Group, 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 navigating life,” she said.
She also introduced the HerMotor insurance plan, designed for ambitious women who need more than just insurance.
The product offers comprehensive motor coverage against accidents, fire, theft, and other unforeseen incidents that may result in loss or damage to the policyholder’s car. An added benefit is the 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for female car owners during breakdowns caused by accidents or mechanical faults.
The first-of-its-kind solution in the industry is delivered in partnership with AA Rescue and includes a robust rewards programme through which customers can access discounts on spa services, wellness programmes, and more.
Dr Odiri Oginni, Managing Director of United Capital Asset Management, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to women’s empowerment.
“Empowerment is at the core of what we do, and co-creating 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,” she said.
The Yoga and Money Meet Up reflects a joint vision to empower Nigerian women through financial education and protection.
