Education stakeholders, at the maiden edition of the annual Union Bank education fair, tagged Edu360, have called for improved investment in the education sector.

Held at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos, the fair served as a platform for collaboration among the education sector stakeholders with the goal of accelerating development and enhancing investment in the sector.

Speaking at the ceremony to mark the kick-off of the two-day event, the Chief Executive Officer of Union Bank, Mr Emeka Emuwa, said the bank’s focus was on education as a key driver of national development.

“We want Edu360 to be the leading education platform in Nigeria, bringing together various participants, actors and fostering collaboration among stakeholders in the education ecosystem, thereby bringing about the much-needed investment in this sector. We firmly believe that the private sector, working closely with the government and other stakeholders, can play a critical role in fast-tracking solutions to move the educational sector forward.
