WEMA Bank
WEMA Bank Plc has announced its sponsorship of Isale Eko, a popular play billed for performance in June. Isale Eko, dating back to 1945, when Nigerian playwright, late Hubert Ogunde, established a professional touring company.
It was the same year that Ogunde’s troupe started exciting Nigerians across theatres nationwide that Wema Bank was established.
However, the bank’s support for the arts is beyond the history shared with theatre, but in keeping with its desire to always support creativity and innovation in all forms. The bank has often reiterated its commitment to supporting talents.
