Finance is not the major issue, but capacity building and understanding opportunities that abound in the business environment. We also have programmes that support women entrepreneurs because we find it interesting working with them.” According to him, the bank aims to be a Tier 1 SME bank to young entrepreneurs and seeks to achieve this through integrated partnership and provision of proactive business banking solutions which makes our clients winners on all fronts. He pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs are crucial for tracing new paths to more sustainable and inclusive growth with a role in developing and diffusing innovation and providing employment, saying ,“This is one of the several reasons why we recognise the role of women as multiplier in the country”. The United Nations Global Compact, organisers of the programme, charged African chief executive officers to collaborate in contributing development in Africa. In his remark, executive director, UN Global Impact, Dr George Kell, enjoined local networks to partner to help achieve economic growth in the continent. He added, “The UN Global Compact will support CEO’S and the Nigerian government in their efforts to sustain future businesses in Africa.
