Frontline financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc has said it collaborated with Lagos Business School and the Nigeria Export Promotion Council to train entrepreneurs on the exportation of non-oil products through its Export Management Programme.
The bank said in a statement on Wednesday that the 11th edition of its EMP was recently concluded at the LBS and covered a wide range of topics, including export documentation and application of export development processes.
It said the programme was facilitated by the staff of the LBS and NEPC as well as experts in financial management and exports.
The Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, Mrs Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said the bank was committed to helping diversify the Nigerian economy and increase its export earnings.
She said, “One of the ways we are doing this is through the Export Management Programme, which provides participants with the knowledge needed to navigate both the international non-oil export market and the larger export market.
“Previous editions of the EMP have recorded outstanding successes and made marked impacts in the lives and businesses of the participants. We are proud to say that the just-concluded 11th edition is no exception.
“The feedback we have got from facilitators and participants alike have been nothing short of encouraging. The turnout was tremendous, and we are certain that we will witness astonishing results as the participants put what they learnt into practice.”
A participant at the programme and Chief Executive Officer of Dot Global Resources Nigeria Limited, Mr Kelechi Chukwukezirim, was quoted as saying, “I am thankful to Fidelity Bank and Lagos Business School for this insightful and highly educative programme. I came here with just an awareness of export management.”
Chukwukezirim said the programme increased his knowledge on export management from almost nothing to over 40 per cent of what he needed to know.
