Walter Akpani, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer at ProvidusBank, stated that the bank is dedicated to assisting its clients with the nation’s exports.
At the third hybrid Non-Oil Export Summit held by the financial institution on Friday in Lagos, he made the commitment.
The summit series was started, according to Akpani, who was represented by the Deputy Managing Director, Kingsley Aigbokhaevbo, as part of the lender’s ambition for ongoing collaboration with significant players in the non-oil export area.
He claims that the summit gives the bank the chance to more firmly establish its backing for its stakeholders in Nigeria’s agribusiness, mining and metals, African fashion, and general trading industries, opening doors for increased export volumes and trade revenues.
Speaking at the event with the theme “The Pathway to Growing Non-Oil Export in Nigeria,” the ProvidusBank CEO said the most recent edition came after two previous successful ones held in the second and fourth quarters of 2022 and 2023, respectively.
“As a future-forward bank, we have advanced in our support for export business through template settings and other ambitious strategies to gain a significant share of the market in the Business.”
“This event is therefore in the advancement of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) objectives towards a sustainable and self-sufficient growth in non-oil export business in Nigeria.”
