“I am always proud to say that I am from the inaugural group of the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Program. My business is located in Kaduna, in the North of Nigeria. I took advantage of this program in 2015, and it opened a lot of doors and opportunities. It’s not just about the basic capital, but what really fascinates me about the program is the knowledge. I call it the mini MBA program because it’s from the thinking stage teaches you how to really express your business, and gave me my first business plan. The network, the vision, and the opportunities are endless. My entrepreneurial experience could not be complete without the Tony Elumelu Foundation. I will start exporting to other countries soon courtesy of the enterprise. We are now hiring ten permanent employees and eight additional employees on a commission basis.”

Eve Lehmann, Entrepreneur and Founder, Afrique Abaya

“We are constantly blown away by the quality of companies that come out of Africa every year. This motivates us to expand our efforts to empower more entrepreneurs on the continent. The innovation, knowledge and resilience of African entrepreneurs is fundamental to charting Africa’s social and economic transformation and achieving the continent’s development goals. We are also proud of the increased female participation in our program, especially with the 2021 cohort where we saw 68% of female entrepreneurs selected.”

Evinwa Ogochokwu, CEO, the Tony Elumelu Foundation,

“Through the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Program, we seek to democratize luck. Hard work plays an undeniably important role in success, but one must not discount the role of luck – someone willing to seize an opportunity for you or a business idea by empowering you through training, mentorship or funding. Our hope is that through the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Program, we will help the next business leader Or the industry leader he’s meant to be. This is our own way of giving back and also to empowering the next generation behind us so they can go beyond what we have. As a parent, one’s desire is for your children to do a better job than you, and thus you will provide the resources and materials they need to make sure they go far in life. Likewise, at the foundation, we are providing the next generation with the tools they need to succeed.”
