NEECEE GROUP

Some leaders build careers. Others build institutions.

In commemoration of International Women’s Day, NeeCeeBosslady Media places its Spotlight on Adaora Umeoji, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Zenith Bank — a woman whose leadership journey reflects both influence and intention within Africa’s financial landscape.

With decades of experience in banking and executive leadership, Dame Adaora Umeoji has played a pivotal role in strengthening one of the continent’s most respected financial institutions while championing innovation, institutional growth, and opportunities for women in leadership.

Today’s International Women’s Day conversations continue to find expression through platforms designed to encourage women to step forward confidently, claim their value, and lead with purpose.

As part of Zenith Bank’s 2026 International Women’s Day Seminar, themed “Take It, You Own It,” Dame Adaora Umeoji will set the tone for the gathering through a leadership address that reflects the importance of intentional progress, shared opportunity, and the courage for women to take ownership of their growth journey. 

The seminar aligns with the broader International Women’s Day message “Give to Gain,” reinforcing the idea that when institutions invest intentionally in women and women lead with confidence, the ripple effect extends far beyond organisations into communities and industries. 

As conversations around leadership, inclusion, and opportunity continue to shape the future of business and society, moments like this serve as a reminder that when women lead with clarity and conviction, entire ecosystems rise.

In today’s creative economy, talent alone is not enough. Vision, structure, and mentorship matter.

In commemoration of International Women’s Day, NeeCeeBosslady Media shines its Spotlight on Funke Akindele — an actress, producer, and industry trailblazer whose influence continues to shape the future of Nollywood and Africa’s creative ecosystem.

From record-breaking box office successes to repeatedly surpassing her own cinematic milestones, Funke Akindele has established herself as one of the most formidable storytellers and producers in the industry. Yet beyond the films and accolades lies an even greater impact — building platforms that empower the next generation of creatives.

Through the Funke Ayotunde Akindele Network (FAAN), she continues to open doors for emerging actors, filmmakers, writers, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs looking to transform their talent into thriving careers.

That vision comes alive again with the return of Creative Blueprint 2.0, scheduled to take place March 19 at Landmark, Lagos. The initiative will bring together creatives across film, fashion, beauty, content creation, storytelling, and brand development for a day of masterclasses, mentorship, and strategic conversations on the business of creativity.

With the theme “Empower. Elevate. Earn.”, the programme reflects her commitment to equipping creatives with the knowledge, structure, and industry insight needed to grow their craft and build sustainable careers.

Registration for the event is currently ongoing, and interested participants can access the registration link via the bio of

As the world celebrates women who lead with impact, Funke Akindele’s journey stands as a powerful reminder that true leadership is not only about breaking barriers — it is about creating pathways for others to rise.
