The Tony Elumelu Foundation opens an application portal for the 2022 entrepreneurship programme from January 1. This to give more time for as many that are interested to sign up.
Nigerian and African entrepreneurs with business ideas or existing businesses under five years are encouraged to apply for $5000 seed capital, mentorship, business management training and more.
While commenting on the launch of the 2022 entrepreneurship programme, Ifeyinwa Ugochukwu, chief executive officer of TEF said the foundation is willing to impact more lives, hence the early opening of the application.
“We are constantly blown away by the quality of businesses that come from Africa every year. This motivates us to scale our efforts to empower even more entrepreneurs on the continent,” Ugochukwu said.
“The innovation, knowledge and resilience of African entrepreneurs are central to charting Africa’s socio-economic transformation and meet the continent’s development objectives.
“We are also proud of the increase in female participation on our Programme, especially with the 2021 cohort where we witnessed a record 68% selection of women entrepreneurs.”

Awele Elumelu, the founding trustee of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, said the programme will continue to do the good works they are known for and urge those with marketable skills and ideas to apply now.
