Fidelity Bank Plc, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, is set to host Eduthrive, a two-day conference aimed at empowering school owners and education stakeholders to navigate the upcoming academic session successfully.
Under the theme “Positioning Your School for Growth,” the event will take place from August 28 to 29, 2025, at the Fidelity SME Hub located at 22 Lanre Awolokun Street, Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos.
The conference will feature panel discussions, stakeholder engagement sessions, and networking opportunities, including participation from the Lagos Office of Education Quality Assurance. The focus is on fostering sustainable growth and operational excellence within the education sector.
Osita Ede, Divisional Head of Product Development at Fidelity Bank, emphasized the importance of combining academic expertise with entrepreneurial skills for school success. “Managing a profitable educational institution today involves balancing standards, facility upgrades, and competitive staff salaries—all of which demand significant financial resources,” he said.
“Fidelity Bank’s tailored products and services are designed to support school administrators in overcoming these challenges and thriving.”
This conference is part of Fidelity Bank’s ongoing efforts to enhance access to quality education in Nigeria. Earlier this year, the bank launched the Lighting Young Minds initiative, providing solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools—an innovative solution enabling children to study safely at night without reliance on candles or kerosene lamps.
Fidelity Bank has also hosted education-themed webinars, including “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” in 2024 and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Economic Realities” in September 2024. These initiatives highlight the bank’s commitment to supporting educational institutions through financing, capacity building, branding, and digital platforms.
Ede added, “The Eduthrive event offers a platform to showcase Fidelity Bank’s sector-specific solutions that tackle real challenges and unlock growth opportunities for schools.”
