Fidelity Bank Plc will conclude its 2026 Quarterly Business Forum series with an edition in Abuja, bringing together entrepreneurs, business owners, industry experts and other stakeholders to examine strategies for sustainable growth in the Federal Capital Territory.

The forum will hold on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at Barcelona Hotel, No. 23 Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja. The theme is Building Sustainable Businesses, Unlocking Growth, Governance and Opportunity in the FCT.

Speaking ahead of the event, the Divisional Head of SME Banking at Fidelity Bank Plc, Mrs. Ugochi Osinigwe, said sustainable business growth depends on access to finance, sound governance, relevant knowledge and strong business connections.

She said: “At Fidelity Bank, we recognise that sustainable business growth requires a combination of access to finance, sound governance, relevant business knowledge and the ability to identify and maximise emerging opportunities. Through the Quarterly Business Forum, we are creating a platform where business owners can gain practical insights, strengthen their capabilities and connect with opportunities that will support their long-term success.”

“The Abuja edition will further reinforce the importance of building well-structured businesses that can adapt to changing market conditions, improve operational efficiency and position themselves for expansion. It will also provide an opportunity for participants to engage with relevant business stakeholders and explore pathways to greater competitiveness and resilience.”
