ICTI Nigeria has opened admissions for its Ethical Trade Academy, an intensive accelerator targeting young entrepreneurs building businesses in trade, manufacturing, and digital commerce.
The program couples structured coursework in Sharia-compliant finance and export compliance with direct mentorship from established chapter members and international trade specialists.
Graduating ventures receive provisional ICTI ethical certification and are fast-tracked into the corridor export pipeline, gaining hands-on experience through structured market-entry placements.
The first cohort will convene across Lagos, Kano, and Abuja with a rigorous focus on transparency, verifiable impact, and sustainable growth.
“Equipping the next generation with ethical trade fluency is the most durable investment in the region’s commercial future.”
