The statement quoted Mr Opeyemi Ojesina, Head, Personal and SME Banking, as saying during the unveiling of the initiative that the bank would remain committed to empowering the next generation.
“Unity Bank is supporting the initiative in order to empower and prepare the next generation for a competitive future defined by cutting edge technology.
“The e-learning market is estimated to hit over 600 billion dollars by 2025, therefore, partnering with Dynamiss to drive this initiative provides a huge opportunity for everyone interested in the education sector.
“On our part, we are committed to providing low-interest credit to as many schools that sign up to the Dynamiss Learning Management System across the country,” Ojesina stated.
He said this was in addition to making available to the schools, cost-effective account products suitable and tailored for the schools and their employees.
“Beyond our loan products, which are tailored to assist schools to grow their businesses effectively, we also offer rich bouquet that includes, but not limited to asset finance and working capital.
“This is even as we train and equip schools with the necessary financial tools for success,” he said.
