The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) has opened applications for its Entrepreneurship Training Programme 8.0, designed to equip ambitious entrepreneurs with practical skills to build and grow sustainable businesses. The programme focuses on real-world business knowledge without unnecessary theory, and participation is completely free.
The DBN Entrepreneurship Training Programme provides entrepreneurs with the tools to improve daily operations, manage finances effectively, access new market opportunities, and strengthen long-term business sustainability. It is part of DBN’s broader mission to address financing constraints that hinder the growth of domestic production and commerce, particularly within the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) segment.
MSMEs play a critical role in Nigeria’s economic development by driving growth, reducing poverty, creating employment, and promoting shared prosperity. DBN supports this sector by providing targeted wholesale funding and risk-sharing facilities to financial institutions, especially deposit money banks and microfinance banks. By strengthening these institutions and expanding their lending capacity, DBN helps ensure that smaller businesses can access the funding they need to thrive.
In addition to the training programme, entrepreneurs can explore a range of online courses for professionals and businesses through the DBN Academy. Participants benefit from structured learning, instructor support, and an official certificate upon completion. More courses will also be introduced to expand learning opportunities.
Applications are now open. Interested applicants can apply for the DBN Entrepreneurship Training Programme by visiting https://learning.devbankng.com/.
