Stanbic IBTC Bank has reinstated her commitment to the development of Small and Medium Enterprises in the country by organising capacity building workshops for SMEs.
In a press statement on Monday, the bank said over 500 participants converged on the Ibadan Civic Centre for the one-day capacity-building workshop while similar workshops have be taken to Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano and other cities across the six geo-political zones in the country.
The Executive Director, Personal and Business Banking, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Obinnia Abajue, who was represented by the Regional Head, SME, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Mr. Tayo Adediran, during the event said “The SME sector is pivotal to the economic growth and development of any nation and Nigeria is no exception, which is why the seminar was conceived to avail SME operators exposure to modern and innovative marketing, financial and management skills that are useful to their businesses and which will help them to attract the necessary funding for growth.
“Stanbic IBTC Bank has a rich pedigree of building capacity for SMEs and providing much-needed support in terms of funding and skills acquisition because we understand the important linkages provided by SMEs to industries and employment generation.
“This seminar is one of several ways the bank continues to build capacity in the SME sector.”
