Foundation to train 1,000 women across Nigeria

This marks the second phase of the initiative and will see 1,000 women from across Nigeria trained on entrepreneurship. During its first phase that kicked off in 2023, 500 female business owners were trained and 200 Y’ellopreneurs selected to participate in the final pitch event.

Speaking at the event, the Executive Director, MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya, stated that, “While we are encouraged that more women are taking on entrepreneurship in the country, there is more to do as women are still largely disadvantaged in terms of capital and business skills. Through the Y’ellopreneur programme, we are able to empower this critical demography in the country while supporting the government’s effort towards economic revitalization.
