In its continual commitment to boost the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector, Heritage Bank Plc, one of the sponsors of Big Brother Naija Season-2 reality TV show, yesterday, rewarded the five top finalists with financial investment support to enhance their entrepreneur drives.

A statement from the bank said that Efe, Bisola, TBoss, Debbie Rise and Marvis, who were the top five, met with the management on Wednesday, when the Managing Director of Heritage Bank Plc, Mr. Ifie Sekobo, advised each of the housemates on their aspirations on becoming budding entrepreneurs in creating, preserving and transferring wealth to Nigerians.

Sekibo, who disclosed the bank’s financial support to each of the five top finalists, said the bank was proud to be part of the reality show, as the involvement re-emphasises the wealth enshrined in Nigeria’s cultural heritage.


He stated that beyond Heritage Bank’s core banking activities, it has special interest in young talented Nigerians and as well recognises the value to sell Nigerian culture to the world.

Sekibo affirmed also that the bank’s involvement was centred on financially and socially emancipating them for the common good of the community.

“When the bank started this journey some weeks ago, people wondered how this will synergise with our banking values. The truth is that Heritage Bank is not all about banking, but the thing we value more is to communicate our rich heritage and culture to the world and we are happy with the sponsorship and relationship,” he said.

In her remarks, Bisola thanked Heritage Bank for its financial support and giving them the platform and opportunity to enlighten other viewers about Nigeria’s culture and the many challenges, both social and environmental, being faced across the country via the different creative presentations in the house.

Also, Efe, who beat 11 other housemates to cart away the coveted prize, having surmounted all the hurdles and polled a whopping 57.61 per cent of the overall votes, praised the bank for its numerous supports, especially organising and sponsoring the wedding task assigned to them.

The Big Brother Nigeria 2017 began in January. It had seen the eviction of nine housemates, Bally, Bassey, CocoIce, Gifty, Kemen, Miyonse, Soma, ThinTallTony and Uriel before the top five who graced the finale: Marvis, Debbie Rise, TBoss, Bisola and Efe.
