He remarked that the bank was supporting the fair because it was on a mission to promote brands owned by Nigerians to help them build capacity, grow their businesses, and transform the Nigerian economic climate.
He disclosed that over 300 merchants had registered on the platform and were ready to serve buyers with products of the highest quality.
He further noted that MBN was a community for those who dare to dream, a hub that is accessible to every business within Nigeria and/or owned by Nigerians, and focused to help build and better position Nigerian brands to capture the growing global demand.
