Fidelity Bank Champions Africa’s Export Growth at FNITCC Atlanta 2025

Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc has announced plans to convene a high-level panel of seasoned experts to chart a strategic roadmap for promoting African exports in global markets.

The panel session, titled “Laying the Tracks: Strengthening the Institutional Infrastructure for Africa’s Trade Promotion,” is scheduled for Day 2 of the Fidelity Nigeria International Trade & Creative Connect (FNITCC)—Saturday, September 20, 2025—at the Omni Atlanta Hotel, Centennial Park, Georgia, USA.

Confirmed speakers include Nonye Ayeni, Executive Director/CEO of the Nigeria Export Promotion Council; Shaquana Teasley — Founder & CEO, Agate Solutions (U.S.); Titus Olowokere, Executive Director of the US-Nigeria Business Council; Affie Braimoh, Founder of Sac Fruits and former Commissioner of Industry, Trade & Cooperatives, Edo State; and Sebastine Osita, CEO of GIG Logistic Technologies Ltd.

Isaiah Ndukwe, Divisional Head of Export and Agriculture at Fidelity Bank Plc, stated, “As Nigeria’s leading financial institution in the non-oil export sector, Fidelity Bank Plc is driving sustainable growth and delivering measurable impact across Africa’s trade corridors. Through tailored financial solutions, market access platforms such as FNITCC, and capacity-building initiatives like our Export Management Programme, we are reinforcing our strategic role in strengthening the export ecosystem and empowering businesses to thrive globally.”

He added: “The upcoming panel session at FNITCC is a timely intervention to address the institutional gaps that hinder Africa’s full participation in global trade. For us at Fidelity Bank, strengthening our trade infrastructure is more than an economic imperative—it’s a continental priority.”

Hosted in collaboration with AFRICON—the leading global forum for African innovators and change leaders—FNITCC Atlanta is scheduled to take place from September 18 to 20, 2025. The event is expected to attract over 3,000 participants, including investors, trade agencies, exporters, and diaspora professionals. It is expected to facilitate trade and investment transactions exceeding US$500 million.

In addition to panel discussions focused on enhancing African exports in international markets, FNITCC Atlanta will offer a variety of seminars and panels featuring prominent figures such as Mustafa Chike-Obi, Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc; Aishah Ahmad, Global Finance Leader and former Deputy Governor (Financial System Stability), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); Abba Bello, Managing Director of Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM); and Olasunkanmi Owoyemi, Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Sunbeth Global Concepts Nigeria Ltd.

Further highlights include dedicated deal rooms, an exhibition showcasing African products and services across agriculture, extractive industries, fashion, creative sectors, and professional services; as well as targeted matchmaking sessions connecting US buyers, investors, and partners.
