A lot of women are bread winners of their families and also, more and more young women are venturing into entrepreneurship, they need all the help they can get. Kudos to FCMB with this initiative

Totally agree with you. Imagine a Zero Interest loan up to 5Million, that's unheard of especially for a bank. If I were a woman I'd be looking at how to be a part of this program

I actually love initiatives like this. It gives more women the chance to grow their business. And FCMB have been doing good in this regard. Wanna join them too? Check my signature

read it somewhere that they are going to give 10k to 10 people if they record a video or something. It's good to see banks do things like this to support people.

Nice initiative, many other brands should emulate this. It's really a nice thing seeing FCMB support women especially in hard times like these.

This is a great initiative, kudos to FCMB.
I believe there are lots female entrepreneurs in Nigeria, but due to financial difficulties they’re not growing.

This is indeed a value added initiative by FCMB... Meanwhile they are also honoring the International Women's Day by celebrating women achievements globally for a more inclusive world.

This is a beautiful initiative from the bank. Nigeria women should take advantage of this opportunity.
