Why This Programme Matters
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) form the backbone of Nigeria’s economy. However, many entrepreneurs face a lack of access to proper training, mentorship, and funding. The DBN Entrepreneurship Training Programme is designed to close these gaps by delivering practical knowledge, essential skills, and opportunities for growth, all through a self-paced, fully online platform.
This year’s edition is open to thousands of entrepreneurs across Nigeria, providing free access to expert-led courses in business planning, marketing, finance, and digital skills — all aimed at empowering you to build sustainable businesses.
