First Bank of Nigeria Limited, Nigeria's premier and leading financial

essential elements in the rebuilding and rebounding efforts, as well as safety
of businesses, towards their continued contribution to national development.
Speaking on the event, Mr. Gbenga Shobo, Deputy Managing Director, FirstBank said "at FirstBank we identify with the indelible roles played by SMEs towards the continued growth of the Nigerian economy as without a doubt, they remain the engine of not just our economy but the global economy."
"I enjoin every business
owner to participate in this event in order to be enlightened with essential

especially at this time"
Only recently, FirstBank partnered with the Lagos State Employment
Trust Fund (LSETF) in a matching fund scheme to cushion the impact of COVID-19
pandemic on low-cost private schools by ensuring lending at an attractive
interest rate.
Since the start of the year, the Bank has held several SME events
including; an SME Business Clinic train that moved from Lagos to Abuja and Port-Harcourt
in February.
The Bank later embarked on virtual SME-based events, in order to
adhere to the social distancing guideline essential to promoting the safety of
every participant in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. These SME based webinars
include SME Business Clinic in May as well as the SME Connect webinar to
promote the growth of education sector held in July amongst others.
