The programme, launched in partnership with the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC), has empowered hundreds of business owners through training, mentorship, and business support. At a recent anniversary event in Lagos, alumni shared success stories of business growth and resilience attributed to the initiative. Speakers noted that the programme addresses key SME challenges such as limited funding, capacity gaps, and high startup failure rates. Over the years, it has also fostered a network of entrepreneurs committed to mentoring others.
