In a bold move to strengthen the backbone of the Nigerian economy, Fidelity Bank Plc launched the 2025 edition of his Empowerment PMI program on Wednesday 23 July 2025 in Lagos. The event brought together the best entrepreneurs, ecosystem partners and stakeholders in the sector to attend the presentation of an initiative that changes the game aimed at transforming small and medium -sized enterprises of Nigeria (SMEs) through digital empowerment and the development of strategic skills.
Mr. Stanley Amanchie, who represented Fidelity Bank Plc’s MD/CEO, delivered the opening observations to the high -power summit. In a convincing and visionary speech, he underlined the incrullable commitment of the bank for economic development led by innovation, describing SMEs as “the architects of resilience, innovation and inclusive growth”.
“This is more than an empowerment program,” Amanchie observed. “It is an invitation to national action, an opportunity to equip entrepreneurs ready for growth with tools, training and support not only to survive but thrive in today’s digital economy.”
The 3 -day transformation event marked the official presentation of the Fidelity PMI Empowerment Program (FSEP), an ambitious intervention designed to provide 100 SMEs thoroughly selected with access to cutting -edge business infrastructure, including ERP desktop systems.
More significantly, SMEs will receive six months of post-installation technical support, monitoring and evaluation of businesses and strategic branding. Each participant has also received a free Fidelity POS device with an instant transaction agreement since the first day, a move Mr. Ambhie described as “a thrust deliberated to operational efficiency and digital inclusion”.
The data speak volumes. According to the figures shared during the summit:
45% of SMEs report greater efficiency after the adoption of digital tools.
SMEs transformed digitally increase the revenue four times faster than others.
The SMEs on digital platforms are three (3) times more likely to reach international markets.
Finally, the “SMEs for the first digital” have 2.5 times more likely to obtain a growing growth in the long -term revenues.
Fidelity Bank is not only creaking and vomiting numbers, but is rewriting the narrative on the growth of SMEs. From his acclaimed Hub PMI to Gbagada, to targeted tutors for female entrepreneurs and high impact masterclass across the country, the bank is creating an ecosystem of scale, opportunities and sustainability.
The observations of Mr. Stanley AMS also stressed these realities, painting a future in which the data based on data becomes the milestone of economic resilience. His delivery has reached an excellent balance between strategy and sincerity, strengthening his growing reputation as a leader of thought in the banking sector and public finance.
In an intertwined speech with authenticity and purpose, Ambhie said that the Fidelity Empowerment program is not a unique intervention, but a continuation of the long -standing support of the bank for entrepreneurs.
“This is our way of saying: we see you. We believe in you. We are here to help you grow,” he said.
He also extended the sincere appreciation to the team, the stakeholders and entrepreneurs of Fidelity Bank, urging all the participants to grasp the moment and “make him count”.
While Fidelity Bank continues to stand out with prizes as the best Nigeria bank for the SMEs of Euromoney and Export Financing Bank of the Year 2024 from Businessday, the latter Empowerment pushes its role not only as a financial institution, but a transformation partner for growth.
And with personality like Mr. Stanley Am also who guides this vision with integrity and foresight, the future of the ecosystem of the SMEs of Nigeria seems much more bright
