Sogunle, Chief Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, expressed delight at
the opportunities and rewards FUZE holds for young Nigerians pursuing their
dreams. He said, “Around the world today, young Nigerians are making a
statement on the global scene, putting their names and communities on the
roadmap to greatness. The average young Nigerian is bursting with talent and
potential waiting to be harnessed, and we are here to give them the support
they need to soar high. After all, Nigeria is our home and we drive her
growth”.

the inspiration behind FUZE. He explained that the project was to the benefit
of the Nigerian society. He added that as a future-ready organisation, Stanbic
IBTC valued talent, creativity and innovation, and created the platform to
shine the spotlight on youngsters and provide the necessary support they

at over 33%.
