Speaking at the event, Adaeze Ume, Group Head, Consumer Banking, Access Bank Plc., explained that the Bank is committed to engaging and empowering young Nigerians for the future by investing in their knowledge, improving their capabilities, and also designing specific products and services that give them access to more.
