DBN empowers 1,000 Northern MSMEs

The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) has trained over 1,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across six states in the North East and North West regions of the country.

The MSMEs which spread across Gombe, Maiduguri, Adamawa, Katsina, Sokoto and Kebbi states were trained on business optimisation and development skills aimed at further strengthening their capacities.

The one-day capacity training programme which was conducted in each of the locations, had facilitators from Cjonyx Consulting.

In a statement on Sunday, DBN said that the key objective of the training per location was to help the owners of the businesses improve their businesses and gain better knowledge of how they could access credit from DBN for increased efficiency and further business expansion.
