Dr. Stephen Akintayo, Chairman of GText Holdings, has unveiled an exciting initiative aimed at empowering over one million Nigerian entrepreneurs. The conference is designed to tackle economic challenges and align with government policies on entrepreneurship development.
In addition to offering funding, the Stephen Akintayo Foundation will provide participants with mentorship, strategic guidance, and vital business advice. According to Akintayo, “Many businesses fail not due to a lack of funds, but because of poor guidance and a lack of support.”
Furthermore, the conference will feature top experts, successful entrepreneurs, and investors who will share actionable insights and strategies. These insights will help businesses grow and navigate tough economic conditions.
The foundation’s mission is to build entrepreneurial capacity among Nigerian youth, fostering self-sufficiency through skill development and enterprise. Notably, thousands of individuals have already benefited from the foundation’s free training, mentorship, and business grants.
The first event will take place in Abuja at the Intercontinental Hotel from April 12-13, followed by a second edition in Lagos at Eko Hotel and Suites from April 19-20. Interested participants can easily register for free via the Stephen Akintayo Foundation’s website.
Moreover, Farouq Usman, Managing Director of GTEXT Homes, stressed the importance of supporting emerging businesses, especially in today’s tough economic climate. Busayo Aderemi, Managing Director of HD Homes and a mentee of Akintayo, also shared how mentorship significantly accelerated her business growth. “Having a mentor helps you grow fast. I encourage every entrepreneur to seize this opportunity,” Aderemi added.
In conclusion, this conference presents a valuable chance for entrepreneurs to access expert mentorship, gain practical insights, and learn strategies to scale their businesses. Don’t miss out—register today and be part of the movement to empower Nigeria’s next generation of entrepreneurs!
