First Bank of Nigeria
Limited, Nigeria's premier and leading financial inclusion services provider,
has announced the convening of a Business Clinic to promote the growth and
sustainability of the educational sector, especially in the light of the
coronavirus which is having an adverse effect on the operations of schools
across the world. The event is scheduled to hold via Zoom platform by 11:00am on Thursday, 23 July 2020.
"Managing Your School
through the Pandemic: Engagement and Retention Strategies," is the topic of the
event and will be discussed by experts, leading players, policy influencers and
proprietors in business and education management that have carved a niche for
themselves at promoting the growth of education and business, towards impacting
the national economy. To participate in the event, follow the link https://smeconnect.firstbanknigeria.com/webinar to

The panellists at the event include; Mrs
Folasade Adefisayo, Honourable Commissioner of Education, Lagos State; Otunba Yomi
Otubela, President, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools
(NAPPS); Wale Abioye, Team Lead, Customer Practice in Management Consulting
(KPMG); Babatunde Vaughan, Education Lead, Modern Classroom Microsoft Nigeria;
Tinu Aluko, Proprietor, Busy Bee & West Mills and Bankole Adediran, Head
Transaction Banking Products, First Bank of Nigeria Limited.
Speaking on the event, Mr.
Gbenga Shobo, Deputy Managing Director, FirstBank said "the education sector
remains the bedrock of the growth and development of any nation - without a
viable educational system, the human capital would be incapable of driving
national growth and development. FirstBank is delighted to convene this event
as it reinforces our leading role at enabling the growth of the educational
sector in the country, over the years.
A recent example is the
current pandemic in which the Bank has spearheaded the continued learning of
school children, with a view to moving over 1 million Nigerians to e-learning,
an exciting journey that has had over 45,000 active participants on the
respective platforms, notably Roducate and IBM.
We appreciate the
panellists invited to speak and we look forward to the knowledge and ideas that
would be deliberated towards having participants enlightened on essential
activities to not just sustain their schools but reinforce its growth against
the odds of COVID-19. We implore players, policy influencers, school and
business owners as a whole to register and participate in the event because
indeed there is knowledge for everyone," he concluded.
FirstBank has held various
SME clinics in the course of the year, including a virtual event to ensure
Social Distance is adhered to in this sensitive period of the COVID-19.
These events include the
SME Clinics in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja as well as the Virtual SME Clinic,
recently held in May.
