Sterling Bank teamed up with Pan-Atlantic University's Enterprise Development Centre to hand out certificates to people finishing their Non-Oil Export Academy program. The bank's CEO, Abubakar Suleiman, said the whole point is building a crew of exporters who can actually compete globally instead of just teaching basic export mechanics, and they want hundreds of graduates ready to work together on problems bigger than what individual businesses can handle alone.
Dr. Nneka Okekearu from EDC mentioned that the export market has been ignored for way longer than it should have been, and entrepreneurs going through this training will help create better communities while following proper standards. The academy plans to run four batches starting next year, giving participants both knowledge and the networking connections they need to scale up their operations beyond Nigerian borders.
