According to her, I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to put my business out there and get the support I need to scale. This is definitely going to impact my business. I intend to use this money to expand my business, get better machinery and ensure that our output continues to get better and better. This will help my business growth and I thank Wema Bank for thinking of small businesses like mine and supporting us.

Underscoring the need for concerted efforts in accelerating the growth of Nigeria’s MSME sector, MD/CEO of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, reiterated the Bank’s commitment to championing accelerated growth in Nigeria’s MSME sector towards improving the nation’s macroeconomic conditions.

According to him, MSMEs present a two-fold opportunity for us at Wema Bank. With MSMEs constituting the bulk of the economy, empowering MSMEs not only translates to stimulating Nigeria’s economy, but even more importantly, it means extending the reach of our impact to the grassroots and providing support for the people to thrive both personally and professionally.

“For 80 years, we have remained committed to this lifelong mission of empowering lives and businesses, and relenting will never be an option for us. We will continue to meet MSMEs at their points of need, create tailored opportunities for them to thrive and remain innovative in shaping the future of Africa’s MSME sector, journeying with businesses, all the way.”

The Lagos Leather Fair, regarded as the biggest leather fair in West Africa, is an annual showcase of Africa’s Leather Industry.
