Fidelity Bank To Host Eduthrive Conference To Empower School Owners Ahead Of New Academic Session

Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc, is set to convene key stakeholders in Nigeria’s education sector for Eduthrive, an inspiring two-day conference designed to equip school owners with the tools and strategies needed to thrive in the upcoming academic session.

Themed “Positioning Your School for Growth,” the event will take place from August 28 to 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, including participation from the Lagos Office of Education Quality Assurance. The program is tailored to support sustainable growth and operational excellence in the education sector.

According to Osita Ede, Divisional Head, Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, “Running a profitable educational institution today requires a blend of academic expertise and smart entrepreneurial skills. 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.”

The Eduthrive Conference is the latest in Fidelity Bank’s series of impactful initiatives aimed at improving access to quality education in Nigeria. Earlier this year, the bank launched the Lighting Young Minds initiative, donating solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools. This intervention, hailed as a game changer, enables children to study safely at night without relying on candles or kerosene lamps.

In addition, Fidelity Bank has hosted education-focused webinars with themes such as, “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” in 2024 and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Current Economic Realities” in September 2024.

These initiatives reflect the bank’s unwavering 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.
