Expert Harps On Female Entrepreneurs’ Well-Being For Biz Success
A Parenting Coach and Child Development Consultant, Sandra Oluwadare, has said that a woman’s business success is also determined by her ability to keep and nurture the home front.
Oluwadare said this at this year’s edition of the Mamador’s August meeting held over the weekend in Lagos.
She reiterated the need for entrepreneurs to give their well-being the utmost priority it deserves, to enable them succeed in their businesses.
The Coach, who was speaking on the topic: “Parenting in This Generation”, argued that today’s women must know that modern-day parenting has changed from what it used to be in the past.
She stated that the advent of technology, and social media has made today’s child more inquisitive, knowledgeable and independent-minded than those of the olden days.
She, therefore, advised mothers on the need to constantly engage their children, so as to have some insight into their world, and what can be done to enable them to be on the same page with such child.
A medical practitioner and health influencer, Egemba Chinonso, popularly known as Aproko Doctor, urged women to always be conscious of their health status by being moderate in whatever they consume.
He advised every woman to be aware of their vital statistics and always go for routine medical checks, whenever the need arises.
Speaking on the rationale behind the meeting, the Head of Marketing, PZ Wilmar Foods Limited, Chioma Mbanugo, explained that the meeting, “Nourish to Flourish: Elevating Health and Wealth”, is to highlight the need for women to adequately prioritise their health and general well-being while striving to build wealth.
She added that the annual event was conceived to recognise and celebrate Nigerian women for their diligence, resilience, breaking the status quo, and relentless quest for success regardless of limitations or barriers along their path.

BVN Enrolments Rise 6% To 67.8m In 2025 — NIBSS
The Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) has said that Bank Verification Number (BVN) enrolments rose by 6.8 per cent year-on-year to 67.8 million as at December 2025, up from 63.5 million recorded in the corresponding period of 2024.
In a statement published on its website, NIBSS attributed the growth to stronger policy enforcement by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the expansion of diaspora enrolment initiatives.
NIBSS noted that the expansion reinforces the BVN system’s central role in Nigeria’s financial inclusion drive and digital identity framework.
Another major driver, the statement said, was the rollout of the Non-Resident Bank Verification Number (NRBVN) initiative, which allows Nigerians in the diaspora to obtain a BVN remotely without physical presence in the country.
A five-year analysis by NIBSS showed consistent growth in BVN enrolments, rising from 51.9 million in 2021 to 56.0 million in 2022, 60.1 million in 2023, 63.5 million in 2024 and 67.8 million by December 2025. The steady increase reflects stronger compliance with biometric identity requirements and improved coverage of the national banking identity system.
However, NIBSS noted that BVN enrolments still lag the total number of active bank accounts, which exceeded 320 million as of March 2025.
The gap, it explained, is largely due to multiple bank accounts linked to single BVNs, as well as customers yet to complete enrolment, despite the progress recorded.
