The fair holds between April 7 and April 9, 2022, at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta, the state capital.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Bolaji Lawal hinged the bank\u2019s support on its strategic decision to further support and empower the youths, women, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and other business communities within Ogun State. Adding that it was one of the several initiatives by the Bank to boost tourism, culture and the creative industry using Adire is a key driver.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to Lawal, \u201cWe are currently working with the Ogun state government to promote the Adire industry which is also primarily women-driven.\u00a0 We see the Adire industry as a platform to celebrate and further integrate with culture, arts and history of Abeokuta, Ogun State and the nation at large. We will also explore the connection it has with the youths, women, SMEs and other business communities around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He was optimistic that the week will establish the platform for financial inclusion for women-owned businesses, noting that the Bank will use the avenue to promote its women-centred proposition, Ellevate to help boost the businesses. \u201cIt is also an opportunity for us to promote international trade through our robust payment and collection platforms whilst leveraging our AfCFTA agreement to support exports for the local fashion industry.\u201d<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ecobank Nigeria\u2019s management had during its visit to Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun some years ago, pledged to\u00a0partner the state government on\u00a0the\u00a0policy thrust and developmental strides of the Abiodun-led administration, as encapsulated in\u00a0<i><b>ISEYA<\/b><\/i>, which represents infrastructure, social welfare and health, education, youth empowerment and agriculture.
