Sterling Bank Limited is set to mark the festive season with a grand showcase of business and culinary excellence at the Tafawa Balewa Square on the 27th and 28th of December. In a bid to bolster the Nigerian economy and celebrate indigenous brands, Sterling Bank’s CEO, Abubakar Suleiman, emphasized the significance of empowering local businesses and embracing the diverse food culture of the country.
The upcoming fair merges the best of Made by Nigerians (MBN) and Eat Drink Festival (EDF), promising an extensive array of local businesses and a tantalizing gastronomic experience. Maurice Igugu, the bank’s Chief Marketing Officer, expressed excitement about this fusion, envisioning an event that not only champions local enterprises but also offers attendees an indulgent culinary adventure.
Highlighting Sterling Bank’s consistent commitment to fostering economic growth through MSMEs, the fair aims to cultivate relationships, drive business expansion, and uplift the real sector. The bank’s recent memorandum to disburse up to N5 billion to small businesses at a reduced interest rate further solidifies its dedication to supporting these enterprises.
