Etisalat Partners EDC for 2013 Global Entrepreneurship Week
Etisalat Nigeria in partnership
with the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) of the Pan Atlantic University,
last week held the 2013 edition of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW),
targeted at youths and young entrepreneurs in the country, to help improve
their chances of succeeding in their various chosen businesses.
Head, Business Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Bidemi Ladipo
noted that it was important for business owners to have access to the right
information needed to excel in business. “At Etisalat, we have been relentless
in supporting initiatives that go a long way in assisting young people to
achieve their dreams as regards successfully setting up businesses. Some of the
initiatives we have used to help develop businesses include Market Access which
is in partnership with SMEDAN, our Etisalat Easybusiness package which helps
SMEs to communicate at a reduced cost and our recently launched promo called
Easybusiness millionaire hunt which gives an opportunity for people with great
business ideas to win as much as N2 million. This is the 3rd Edition
of the Global Entrepreneurship week which we are sponsoring and we are
satisfied with the level of impact these trainings have had,” he said.
Also speaking at a seminar earlier organized for National Youth
Corpers, Deputy Director, Enterprise Development Centre, (EDC), Nneka Okekearu
expressed satisfaction with the improved turnout at the seminar. “It has become
very obvious that our contributions to the Global Entrepreneurship are
beginning to pay off. In the last three years since Nigeria joined the
international event, we have had over eight events, over 50 local partners and
more than 1.5 million people have participated at the events held in Lagos and
Calabar,” she said.
