Fidelity Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, is set to host Eduthrive, a two-day capacity-building conference designed to equip school owners and administrators with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to position their institutions for sustainable growth in the new academic session.
Themed “Positioning Your School for Growth,” the event will run from August 28 – 29, 2025, at the Fidelity SME Hub, 22 Lanre Awolokun Street, Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos. It will feature panel discussions, stakeholder engagement sessions, and networking opportunities, with active participation from the Lagos State Office of Education Quality Assurance.
Speaking ahead of the event, Osita Ede, Divisional Head, Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, emphasized the critical balance between academics and business for today’s school owners:
“Running a profitable educational institution today requires more than academic expertise—it demands smart entrepreneurial skills. From meeting evolving standards to upgrading facilities and paying competitive salaries, the financial pressures on school administrators are immense. For many, the difference between surviving and thriving lies in having the right support. That’s why Fidelity Bank continuously curates products and services to empower education stakeholders across the value chain.”
The Eduthrive Conference builds on Fidelity Bank’s long-standing commitment to improving access to quality education in Nigeria. Earlier in 2025, the bank launched the Lighting Young Minds initiative, donating solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools—an innovation that enables children to study safely at night without relying on candles or kerosene lamps.
In addition, Fidelity Bank has consistently engaged stakeholders through education-focused webinars, including “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” (2024) and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Current Economic Realities” (September 2024).
These initiatives underscore the bank’s commitment to supporting educational institutions through financing, capacity development, branding, and digital platforms.
“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,” added Ede.
