Access Bank partners with She Leads Africa on Facebook Program for training Female Entrepreneurs across Nigeria
The idea behind this partnership and empowerment programme is to allow our SME customers to expand their access to the market and increase their visibility to potential customers.
“There are over two billion people on Facebook globally, and over 65 billion WhatsApp messages exchanged globally on a daily basis. With the right knowledge, our customers can showcase their products to large audiences as well as get leads that will take their businesses forward.”
Etuokwu further said, “We intend to actualise our promise as the largest retail bank in Africa to provide not just financial services but also non-financial services which we provide knowing that when our customers succeed, it will trickle down yh to us.”
During an interview with Chigozie Onyeocha, the Regional and Sales Director of Lagos Mainland at Access Bank, it was learned that the bank has a strong interest in Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to Onyeocha, Access Bank believes that if SMEs are well supported, the country’s economy will benefit in return.
Access Bank has been great in this collective responsibility with She Leads Africa and Facebook to empower in order to have a robust economy.
One of the participants, Bolanle Alabi, CEO, Easy Flight Travels in Lagos, said, “I have learned how to market products online by locating my audience and giving them direct information. Sometimes when you go on Facebook, you do not give the specific details to be able to attract the required audience. I have learned how to restructure and how to create the right profile.”
