selecting 500 participants for the career-boosting course.

As it did last year, it maintains its strategic partnership with the Enterprise Development Centre of Pan-Atlantic University, for capacity building of physical beneficiaries. However, to ensure that the impact of the initiative is felt on a broader spectrum, it will also roll out virtual training for 20,000 female entrepreneurs through Mastercard Foundation’s Transforming Nigerian Youth initiative.

She added: “Everything that the MTN Foundation is doing is addressing five Sustainable Development Goals . For the SDGs to be met in most economies in Africa to achieve their goals, the private sector has to come in. There is nothing any organisation can do on their own, but together we can do so much more. MTN is an enabler of possibilities, EDC is an enabler of opportunities, and the Mastercard Foundation is an enabler of the future.
