500 Nigerians were on the 25th of November empowered by the Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs Empowerment Nigeria (AYEEN) after rigorous screening by the panel of judges. The empowered Nigerians are finalists who have scaled through various stages in the empowerment initiative.
Speaking in the events, the president of AYEEN, Mr Summy Smart Francis advised the beneficiaries to keep up with the hard work and be consistent in their dealing in the business world. He also charged the beneficiaries to use the resources given to them with utmost discipline and for the development of their business ideas.
Also, the Vice president of the initiate said that similar initiative will be created to empower Borno state indigenes. This she asserted was as a result of the insurgency in the region that has affected the state and displaced a large number of people and that the initiative is a partnership between AYEEN and Borno state government.
The beneficiaries who were filled with joy as the crowd cheers them were advised by the A.Y.E Chief Executive Matron, Mrs Folorunso Alakija to always push harder even when it seems impossible to move forward. Alakija enjoins them to make the best out of the opportunity presented to them to change the world and development of Nigeria.
