The idea of the business school came after the bank’s research and several other studies by global business organizations and research bodies which revealed the gap areas SMEs are grappling with in terms of having proper structure for their businesses.

Through the Business School, the bank has been supporting SMEs by bridging their knowledge gaps and equipping them to respond to challenges in an ever-demanding business environment.

Wema Bank held the maiden edition last year in Lagos with participants trained using a robust curriculum spanning the broad areas of finance, marketing and sales, leadership, customer service, technology, branding, strategy, innovation and business transformation.
