FCMB partners Alitheia Capital for 2026 W.O.M.A.N. Conference

First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has teamed up with Alitheia Capital for the 2026 W.O.M.A.N. Conference, set to take place in Lagos on September 10 and 11. The conference will bring together around 300 women-led micro, small and medium-sized enterprises from various sectors including manufacturing, agribusiness, and nutrition. The two-day event will provide participants with opportunities to learn about financing, investment, and market access, as well as address topics such as governance, financial management, climate resilience, green manufacturing, and energy transition.

FCMB's Group Head of Gender and Impact Sectors, Nnenna Jacob-Ogogo, and Head of SME Asset Products, Oluremi Agboola, will speak at the conference and provide guidance on preparing businesses for finance and selecting suitable funding options. The conference is part of a broader W.O.M.A.N. programme that includes cohort sessions, structured investment-readiness, access-to-finance pathways, and digital capacity building through Alitheia Capital's Nzinga learning platform.

The programme aims to support Nigeria's industrialisation, MSME growth, job creation, energy transition, and women's economic participation by addressing the structural barriers that prevent women entrepreneurs from converting their business potential into sustainable growth.
