The women empowerment was put together in a bid to reaffirm
the bank’s commitment to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) support
through the program tagged “The Incubator Reality – Female Entrepreneurs’
forum”.
The Incubator Reality – Female Entrepreneurs’ forum,
targeted towards the empowerment of young female entrepreneurs is a part of The
Incubator Reality series.
The virtual program was utilized as a tool to educate,
empower and motivate the young women to expand their businesses and become
successful entrepreneurs.
At the virtual seminar, a wide array of seasoned and
successful female entrepreneurs imparted the participants with important
knowledge about key business issues and the skills required to apply that
knowledge thereby developing their business acumen.
Addressing the participants, the co-founder, The Footwear
Academy, Chidinma Emodi Chukwuemeka, emphasized on the importance of skills
acquisition in order to foster socio-economic growth and reduce youth
unemployment in Nigeria.
She also rendered tips on how to manage a business
successfully in Nigeria.
