Microsoft Mobile offers N3.5m entrepreneurship support to young Nigerians

As part of its efforts at empowering consumers to achieve more, Microsoft Mobile Devices and Services is set to award N3.5m to 5 Nigerians with brilliant business ideas in the Microsoft Lumia 535 Dual SIM activation campaign tagged ‘From Passion to Empire’, which runs from February 16, 2015 to March 31, 2015. According to General Manager, Microsoft Mobile Devices and Services, West Africa, Joseph Umunakwe, “From Passion to Empire” initiative provides us the opportunity to help young entrepreneurs test the strength of their ideas, sharpen their skills and expand their frontiers as they go through a period of intensive business coaching with the aim to ultimately, establish their businesses. “Running a start-up is challenging in any environment, so Microsoft Mobile seeks to empower entrepreneurs in Nigeria who have great business ideas. “From Passion to Empire” would not be about a cash grant only as the 5 winners will also be mentored by highly successful entrepreneurs like House of Tara’s Tara Fela Durotoye, Chocolate City’s Audu Maikori and Jobberman’s Opeyemi Awoyemi. ” Umunakwe said. http://perfectbrandsng.com/microsoft-mobile-offers-n3-5m-entrepreneurship-support-to-young-nigerians/
