LAGOS, MAY 25, 2018 – Unity Bank has partnered with Young Professionals Breakfast Roundtable to mentor youths in career development.
Speaking at the 2018 edition of the youth programme in Lagos, Unity Bank’s CEO Mrs. Tomi Somefun, who was among the over 50 Chief Executives of companies and ventures that facilitated the programme, enjoined participants to see “pursuit for greatness as a process rather than a one-off-event”.
The programme, tagged ‘YP 2018’, was the third edition and Mrs. Somefun has facilitated in all the sessions in the past three years. The commitment of Unity Bank Plc matches the enthusiasm of promoter of the Young Professions Breakfast Roundtable, Wale Adenuga, a multi-talented entrepreneur whose initiative assembles an array of accomplished professionals cutting across sectors periodically to mentor up-coming professionals.
For Mrs. Somefun, the motivation to participate as one of the facilitators of the programme lies in the discovery of the impact mentors have had in redirecting the mentees towards the options they could leverage on to attain success in life.
This disposition, according to Mrs. Somefun, also aligns with the current thinking in Unity Bank which enabled the bank to make significant inroad into the youth market segment through the introduction of youth-centric product, particularly the recently launched UniFi app, as a model for promoting financial inclusion among the unbanked youth/students.
Unifi is a banking product tailored to allow youths to carry out financial transactions with ease. It is developed as a lifestyle app to enable customers do more banking on digital platform and from anywhere, anytime in their comfort zones.
