#EmpowerHERwithShopProtect: emPLE Launches IWD Campaign to Support Nigerian Women Traders

In line with International Women’s Day 2025 and its theme #AccelerateAction, emPLE, a leading force in Nigeria’s financial services sector, launched the “Empower HER” campaign. This initiative aims to provide financial security for women-owned businesses and enterprises, which is vital to sustaining the country’s local markets.

As part of the campaign, emPLE is offering free 1-year ShopProtect insurance to female entrepreneurs, ensuring their businesses remain protected against unforeseen risks. ShopProtect is designed for business owners with shops, offering accessible and affordable coverage that guarantees stability in times of uncertainty.

With risks like fire and theft posing constant threats, ShopProtect provides a vital safety net, allowing these women to focus on growth confidently.

Speaking on the initiative, Labisi Adesokan, Chief Marketing Officer, emPLE, emphasised the company’s commitment to empowering women in business:

“Female entrepreneurs are the backbone of our economy, yet many operate without a safety net. Through the ‘Empower HER’ campaign, we are taking real action to support them because protecting their businesses means protecting their future. ShopProtect is more than insurance; it’s a promise of stability and confidence in the face of uncertainty.”

The “Empower HER” campaign underscores emPLE’s commitment to financial inclusion and security, reinforcing its role in supporting small businesses and driving long-term economic resilience.

The Impact of Low Oil Prices on sub-Saharan Africa

Growth picked up in sub-Saharan Africa in 2014, after moderating in 2013, but remained weaker than during the pre-crisis years. It softened around the turn of the year owing to headwinds from the plunge in the price of oil. Sub-Saharan Africa’s oil exporters, which account for nearly half of the region’s aggregate output, have been hit hard by the sharp decline in the price of oil. From June 2014 to January 2015, oil prices fell by nearly 50%, and have remained low despite the recent uptick.
