Heirs Insurance Group, in partnership with United Capital Plc, has unveiled an initiative to promote self-care and financial empowerment among Nigerian women.
This is contained in a statement issued by Heirs Insurance Group on Monday in Lagos.
The organisations hosted a “Yoga and Money Meet Up,” on April 11, a wellness and financial literacy event designed to equip women with tools for personal wellbeing and wealth creation.
The event featured guided yoga and stress management sessions, alongside expert-led discussions on insurance, investment and asset protection.
According to the organisers, the initiative reflects their commitment to making financial wellness more relevant and accessible to women.
Mrs Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, Chief Marketing Officer of Heirs Insurance Group, said the programme underscored the link between wellness and financial security.
“Self-care is not just about indulgence; it involves making deliberate choices that protect one’s physical, mental and financial wellbeing.
“For many women balancing careers, businesses and family, this initiative addresses the need to safeguard assets while managing life’s responsibilities,” she said.
Okoli-Okpagu also introduced the firm’s HerMotor insurance plan, designed for female motorists.
She said the product offers comprehensive coverage against accidents, fire and theft, as well as 24/7 emergency roadside assistance.
According to her, the plan, delivered in partnership with AA Rescue, also includes a reward programme with access to discounts on wellness services.
Also, Dr Odiri Oginni, Managing Director of United Capital Asset Management, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing women’s empowerment.
“Financial independence and personal wellness are interconnected.
“By creating platforms that address both, we are enabling women to confidently pursue and achieve their goals,” she said.
Oginni added that the company’s Wealth for Women Fund was developed to provide accessible investment opportunities and long-term financial security.
The organisations said the initiative aligns with their broader goal of promoting financial education and protection among women.
Heirs Insurance Group is a subsidiary of Heirs Holdings, while United Capital Plc provides financial and investment services across Africa.
