Fidelity Bank Plc, has stepped up its export business support initiatives with the fifteenth edition of its Export Management Program.
The Bank had set up a training programme for entrepreneurs on opportunities in the international market and developing their capacity to make an impact as exporters, through a partnership with Lagos Business School.
A training programme for entrepreneurs to learn how to market themselves internationally and improve their ability to compete on export markets was set up by the Bank in collaboration with the Lagos Business School.
commenting on the 5-day weeklong training program in Lagos, Team Lead, Export and Agriculture Division, Fidelity Bank, Mr. Emmanuel Nwalor, stated that “Entrepreneurs at the EMP 15 were empowered to export agriculture products the right way, and those who participated in the training have been upscaled on packaging and prerequisite understanding of the agriculture products to be exported.
Nwalor said “Nigeria is an agricultural commodities-based country with a lot of products like Cashew, Cocoa, and Ginger, among others that are exported out of the country”.
Meanwhile, in his remark, The Director of Executive Education, LBS, Mr. Victor Banjo, noted that EMP is one of the most laudable initiatives at LBS and all thanks to Fidelity Bank that came up with the concept and collaborated with us in putting in place an intervention that helps to tackle some of the challenges we’re facing today in Nigeria.
“With the coming together of LBS, Fidelity Bank and NEPC, I wonder why an entrepreneur will not want to be on this programme if he is serious about exporting quality agriculture products out of Nigeria.”
