Wongafix, a Nigerian digital lending company focused on responsible financial inclusion, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting sustainable pathways from skills acquisition to income generation by participating in the 7th edition of the vocational training graduation ceremony organised by the Imole Eko Foundation.
The graduation ceremony, held on Thursday, celebrated young Nigerians who completed training across various vocational disciplines, while underscoring the importance of combining practical skills with financial knowledge and access to ethical funding to build sustainable livelihoods.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of Wongafix stressed that access to finance must be structured to empower productivity rather than expose beneficiaries to long-term financial strain. He noted that responsible lending plays a critical role in enabling newly trained artisans and vocational graduates to transition into self-reliance.
According to the company, many skilled youths struggle to convert their training into stable income due to limited access to structured and ethical financial support. Wongafix explained that its lending model focuses on aligning credit with repayment capacity, income potential and real economic use cases to ensure sustainable outcomes for borrowers.
The Imole Eko Foundation was commended for its consistent efforts in youth development and vocational empowerment, equipping beneficiaries with practical skills that enhance employability and entrepreneurship.
Graduates of the programme expressed optimism about their future prospects, describing the combination of vocational training and financial awareness as a valuable foundation for economic independence.
The engagement reflects Wongafix’s broader mission to advance financial inclusion through digitally enabled products that support income generation, particularly among underserved groups. By collaborating with organisations such as the Imole Eko Foundation, the company continues to advocate responsible finance as a tool for empowerment rather than dependency.
