NEM Insurance begins 3rd She Means Business competition
NEM Insurance Plc has announced the commencement of the third edition of its flagship gender-focused initiative, the ‘She Means Business’ contest.
According to the underwriter, the annual contest opened on 16 February 2026 and is scheduled to close on 28 February 2026.
Speaking on the initiative, General Manager, Corporate Services, NEM Insurance Plc, Mrs Mojisola Teluwo, said that the programme is part of the underwriter’s commitment to promoting entrepreneurship and deepening financial inclusion among women in the country.
In this year’s edition, three outstanding female entrepreneurs will be selected to receive a cash grant of N250,000 each to scale their business operations.
She noted that the contest is a strategic response to the need for grassroots economic empowerment.
Teluwo stated, “At NEM Insurance, our mission extends beyond providing world-class insurance products; we are deeply invested in the growth of the communities we serve.
The ‘She Means Business’ contest, now in its third phase, is our practical way of inspiring inclusion.
“We recognise the pivotal role women play in the economy, and we are proud to provide this N250,000 financial catalyst to help three visionary women turn their business aspirations into reality.”
In a bid to foster creativity and digital engagement, the insurer has outlined a seamless entry process for prospective participants. Participants are to create a one-minute video articulating specific actions to accelerate their business on social media.
Industry observers believe that such initiatives by NEM Insurance continue to enhance the corporate image of the insurance sector, shifting the narrative toward proactive social investment and the development of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises segment in Nigeria.
