The initiative has identified the importance of boosting one’s business while leveraging technology and digital platforms.

It added that, the partnership with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs on its 50 Million Women Speak Project with ECOWAS would boost the economic empowerment of women through the provision of a capacity building and networking platforms that would provide access to information on financial and non-financial services.

Commenting on the partnership, the bank’s Executive Director, Retail Banking Division, Victor Etuokwu, was quoted to have said, “the world at large has gone global and in a short while, even the most basic things will require digital expertise. We have gone into this partnership to reiterate Access Bank’s focus on the women and to help them move with this digital evolution to strengthen their businesses.”

The pioneer program was held in Lagos on the 29th of July 2019 with more than 100 women in attendance while the subsequent trainings will cut across the six regions in Nigeria.
