Congratulations!
As we commence our strides towards a sparkling
celebration of Nigeria’s Independence at 54, the 11th Quarterly
Edition of Charity Edition and the Lagos State Commemoration of United Nations
Day.
Good Day, I am excited to share with you an initiative
that involves the SME Sector and also emphasized on the motivation of how it
concerns you; the need for strategic collaborations to continually orientate
young business owners on the importance of embracing good values for a better
society.
The Series for the Next Three Months: October-December
is to recognize, showcase and celebrate Key sector’s contribution to Nigeria’s
economic growth, as well as honor deserving individuals and corporations
pivotal to the growth of that sector. It’s expected that this act will serve as
an exemplar to other sectors, particularly the institutions that service them
and upcoming entrepreneurs to emulate the standards for an improved country.
The Social Start Up Saturday is an initiative of a
coalition of Start- up Enterprises. We have concluded on saving the Best for
the Last in October (Venue Confirmation and Details would be sent on
Confirmation of Participation Most especially with a Proposal for Execution of
the Event).
