First City Monument Bank (FCMB), a leading financial institution in Nigeria, has launched the Fempreneur Accelerator programme as part of its SheVentures initiative.
The programme aims to enhance both financial and non-financial support for Women Small and Medium Enterprises (WSMEs) across the country.
In collaboration with Shecluded, a finance and capacity-building organisation for women entrepreneurs, the Fempreneur Accelerator programme addresses the unique challenges female entrepreneurs face in Nigeria.
It will provide technical assistance and critical resources to 350 women, equipping them with essential skills such as financial management, business planning, and access to funding opportunities.
