At the training, Obianuju Odukwe, VP of Digital Ecosystems, Interswitch and Bridget Uzoma, Head of Partnerships and Digital Capabilities, Access Bank, took the PalmPay Purple Women on \u2018How to Navigate and Accelerate in Career and Business.\u2019<\/p>\n
Speaking on building relationships, Mrs Odukwe said, \u201cIf you are pursuing a career or are into business, it is important to expand your network. It is the relationships that we build that would refer to our business, or for those trying to build and grow their careers, refer them to new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs Uzoma urged the attendees to emulate PalmPay\u2019s sustainable business growth model of offering discounts and cashback as a strategy for customer retention, while \u201cbuilding strategic partnerships for their business and career growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initiatives such as this are key to addressing some of the challenges facing women. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts, 75 million more people have fallen into severe poverty since 2020, according to UN data.<\/p>\n
The current global economic system disproportionately affects women, with women earning 51 cents for each dollar that men earn and constituting 61.4 per cent of the prime working-age in the labour force compared to 90 per cent for men.<\/p>\n
Immediate action remains crucial to prevent over 342 million women and girls \u2013 an estimated 8% of the world\u2019s female population \u2013 from living in poverty by 2030, with close to one in four at risk of experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity.<\/p>\n
PalmPay is committed to driving economic empowerment in Africa. Through its secure, user-friendly, and inclusive suite of financial services, PalmPay brings top-tier products into the pockets of everyday Nigerians. With this, we are able to drive financial inclusion.<\/p>\n
