Speaking ahead of the event, Osita Ede, Divisional Head of Product Development at Fidelity Bank, said the initiative was aimed at providing school administrators with practical tools to ensure operational excellence and long-term sustainability.

“Running a successful educational institution today requires a combination of academic expertise and entrepreneurial acumen.

Fidelity Bank’s tailored products and services are designed to bridge these gaps and help schools thrive,” he stated.

The Eduthrive Conference builds on Fidelity Bank’s series of educational interventions. Earlier in 2025, the bank launched the Lighting Young Minds initiative, donating solar-powered school bags to public school pupils to aid after-school study. The bank has also hosted several education-focused webinars, including “Strengthening Child Education through Parent-Teacher Partnerships” and “Maintaining Education Standards Amidst Current Economic Realities”.

According to the bank, Eduthrive will serve as a platform to showcase bespoke financial and capacity development solutions targeted at schools, while fostering collaborations that strengthen the education ecosystem.
