STAKEHOLDERS IN Nigeria’s education sector will gather later this month for Eduthrive, a two-day conference organised by Fidelity Bank Plc to equip school owners with strategies for growth and sustainability in the new academic session.
The event, themed “Positioning Your School for Growth”, will run from 28 to 29 August 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 participation expected from the Lagos Office of Education Quality Assurance.
Fidelity Bank explained that the programme is designed to foster sustainable practices and operational excellence in education management.
Highlighting the objectives of the conference, Osita Ede, Divisional Head, Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, stated that managing a successful school today requires balancing academic expertise with entrepreneurial competence.
He said, “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.”
Fidelity Bank noted that the conference builds on a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing access to quality education in Nigeria.
Earlier in 2025, the Bank launched the Lighting Young Minds initiative, distributing solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools.
The intervention was designed to improve learning by enabling children to study at night without relying on candles or kerosene lamps.
The Bank also recalled its previous education-focused webinars, including “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” in 2024 and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Current Economic Realities” in September 2024.
These, alongside Eduthrive, form part of Fidelity Bank’s wider programme to support schools through financing solutions, capacity-building initiatives, branding opportunities, and digital service 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,” Ede added.
