Keystone Bank Limited has partnered with the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) to launch the MSME Mini Business Boot Camp, a programme designed to equip entrepreneurs with the skills, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed.
The landmark agreement, sealed on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at the LCCI headquarters in Lagos, highlights a shared commitment to supporting Nigeria’s micro, small, and medium enterprises often described as the backbone of the economy.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mrs. Olayemi Sule, Group Head of Retail and Digital Banking at Keystone Bank, said the initiative goes beyond finance to provide real-life training and tools for business growth.
“At Keystone Bank, we see SMEs as the heartbeat of the nation’s economy. This partnership is about unlocking their potential, equipping them with practical knowledge, and helping them build resilience in today’s business environment,” she said.
Dr. Chinyere Almona, Director General of LCCI, described the boot camp as a “catalyst for entrepreneurial growth and competitiveness,” adding that it would empower small businesses to contribute even more significantly to Nigeria’s economic development.
The Boot Camp will feature hands-on sessions, mentorship opportunities, and access to essential business resources, helping young and established entrepreneurs scale their businesses and create lasting impact in their communities.
