Last week, Fidelity Bank Plc held the second edition of the Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC) in Houston, United States. Over 164 Nigerian business had the platform to showcase their goods and services with the aim of connecting them to institutional buyers, the diaspora and the American market.
