President of the SanlamAllianz Women’s Network and Growth Manager, Alternate Distribution at SanlamAllianz Life Insurance, Ogechi Ekwosimba, said the outreach reflects the network’s mission to extend impact beyond the workplace.

She described education as the most effective driver of long-term community development and a critical investment in future generations.

The programme also featured a keynote address by Abimbola Lawson, Company Secretary and Head of Legal and Compliance at SanlamAllianz Life Insurance, who urged students to view education as a tool for self-reliance.

She told the students that knowledge empowers them to make informed choices and build futures grounded in integrity and purpose.
