Fidelity Bank Plc has announced plans to host a two-day education conference, Eduthrive, aimed at equipping school owners with tools and strategies to enhance growth and sustainability in Nigeria’s education sector.
The event, themed “Positioning Your School for Growth,” will take place on August 28–29, 2025, at the Fidelity SME Hub, Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos. It will feature panel discussions, stakeholder engagement sessions, and networking opportunities, with the Lagos Office of Education Quality Assurance among the key participants.
According to Osita Ede, Divisional Head of Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, operating a successful educational institution requires more than academic expertise. “From keeping pace with evolving standards to upgrading facilities and paying competitive salaries, the financial demands on school administrators are significant. For many, the difference between surviving and thriving lies in having the right support. That’s what makes Fidelity Bank’s offerings for the education sector unique, we continuously curate products and services that empower school administrators and stakeholders across the education value chain,” he said.
The Eduthrive Conference forms part of Fidelity Bank’s ongoing initiatives to strengthen access to quality education. Earlier this year, the bank launched the Lighting Young Minds project, donating solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools, enabling them to study safely at night without reliance on candles or kerosene lamps.
The bank has also organized education-focused webinars, including “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” in 2024 and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Current Economic Realities”* in September 2024.
Ede explained that the upcoming event will provide an opportunity to showcase Fidelity Bank’s tailored solutions for the sector. “The Eduthrive event presents an opportunity to unpack Fidelity Bank’s tailored solutions for the education sector, solutions that address real challenges and unlock growth potential,” he added.
Fidelity Bank Plc, which services over 9.1 million customers through 251 business offices and digital platforms in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, has earned multiple awards for innovation and SME support. In 2024, it was recognized as the Best Bank for SMEs in Nigeria by the Euromoney Awards for Excellence, alongside other honors for digital transformation and investment banking services.
