Sterling Bank Limited has been honoured with multiple awards at the 4th Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) Service Ambassadors Award Ceremony and Dinner in Lagos. The bank secured wins in three categories: DMB with the highest impact on youth, DMB with the highest impact on women MSMEs, and the prestigious DBN Platinum Service Award, which came with a N5 million technical assistance grant.
The DBN Service Ambassadors Award Ceremony celebrates financial institutions that have made significant contributions to the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. By channelling funds to MSMEs, these institutions play a crucial role in job creation and economic diversification.
Edward Ogunmekan, Divisional Head of Retail & Consumer Banking at Sterling Bank, expressed the bank’s gratitude for the recognition: “These awards validate our unwavering commitment to empowering Nigerian entrepreneurs, especially youth and women. By supporting MSMEs, we are not only fostering business growth but also building a stronger and more inclusive economy. This recognition from DBN fuels our determination to continue driving sustainable economic development through targeted financing initiatives.”
Sterling Bank’s achievements highlight its dedication to supporting the MSME sector and its positive impact on the Nigerian economy.
