According to the Retail Divisional Head, Dotun Ifebogun, the school curriculum is designed to close the knowledge gap that plagues most SMEs in the country, leading to poor business structure and management.
He disclosed that the bank has support from the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, Germany, for the school, with top-notch consultants from within and outside Nigeria as facilitators.
Ifebogun said, “It is a free program that will be held twice a year across different regions in the country, starting with Lagos, with online and in-class sessions. The in-class session will run for five days, and we aim to educate and support 3,000 SMEs in the next two years.”
