What does it take for more women to move from having the potential to lead to shaping the decisions, businesses and institutions around them? It takes more than ambition. It takes access, support, opportunity and platforms that prepare women to take on leadership roles. These are values that UTL Trust Management Services Limited (UTL) believes are worth supporting.
In line with this commitment, UTL sponsored the 25th Annual Conference of Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ), held on 5 and 6 November 2026 at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos. The sponsorship reflects our commitment to initiatives that promote women’s advancement, leadership, and professional development.
The conference, themed “Rooted, Rising, Ready: Born in Africa, Built for the World,” brought together accomplished women, business leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs to discuss women’s contributions to business, leadership and society.
UTL was also represented by female employees who attended the two-day conference, engaging with other professionals and gaining insights from the experiences of accomplished women across different industries. The sessions provided opportunities to learn about leadership, career development, and navigating today’s professional environment, while the networking sessions created room for meaningful professional connections and the exchange of ideas.
For UTL, supporting the conference goes beyond recognizing the achievements of women. We believe in creating and supporting opportunities for women to strengthen their capabilities, build professional networks and take on greater responsibilities. Women play important roles in leading institutions, managing businesses and driving economic progress, and initiatives that support their continued development are essential.
As an organization that values people and their contributions, UTL remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote professional growth, encourage inclusion, and strengthen women’s participation in leadership.
We congratulate WIMBIZ on 25 years of advancing women in management, business, and public service, and are proud to have sponsored this milestone edition.
