In collaboration with the Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (KACCIMA), the bank held a workshop aimed at enhancing the skills and capacities of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) within this vital industry. This initiative highlights Keystone Bank's commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and economic growth.
The event provided valuable insights into modern leather production techniques and financing options available for SMEs. "Empowering local entrepreneurs is key to unlocking the full potential of our economy," stated Ahmad Ibrahim, President of KACCIMA.
