As part of efforts to boost the domestic economy through sustainable export capabilities, Fidelity Bank Plc, would be holding the 11th and 12th editions of its Export Management Programme in Lagos and Kano, respectively.

Managing Director, Fidelity Bank Plc, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said, “We introduced the EMP five years ago to bridge the knowledge gap in the export business locally and to help participants to compete effectively in the global export market.

“Given the success we have recorded in the course of the programme and following the yearnings of potential participants, we decided to host an edition of the training in Kano for those who are unable to attend the session in Lagos.”

The Point reports that the EMP was launched in 2016 with the objective of equipping participants with knowledge for real-time experiences in the international non-oil export markets and the broader export market at large.

The session would cover a wide range of topics including export documentation, selection and implementation of supply chain management for exports, application of export development business processes, amongst others.

“The benefits of supporting the non-oil sector of the economy cannot be overemphasized given the immense benefits that it provides to the economy and the nation in terms of providing much needed foreign exchange investments, increasing our GDP and employment generation. This informs our decision to host the EMP regularly and we enjoin interested entrepreneurs to take advantage of this initiative to take their business to the next level,” Onyeali-Ikpe explained.
