SME100 Rewards 25 Young Nigerian Entrepreneurs

A leading Nigerian youth-driven entrepreneurship and capacity building centre, SME100 has rewarded 25 young Nigerian Entrepreneurs under the age of 25 at a Ceremony in Lagos.
The award derives from a selection process in which organisations from different sectors, set up by young entrepreneurs under the age of 25 recorded impressive growth within two years of establishment.

The Executive Director of SME100, Charles Odii said that the awards recognize, celebrate and encourage some of Nigeria’s most innovative entrepreneurs under the age of 25. 

He said: “The goal of this award is to stimulate an entrepreneurial culture among our youths. We identify young people doing phenomenal work across the country, shine the spotlight on them so that all others can see them, and aspire to set up businesses as well.” 

Odii stressed that the SME100 scheme is a social enterprise that helps to bridge the gap for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to succeed by providing requisite skills and orientation to young entrepreneurs.  The selection of finalists had been whittled down to 100 from 3,500 nominees for the different categories of the award. The final 25 winners were decided by the organisation’s board of trustees based on set down criteria, including online voting. The nominees were selected for 25 different categories.
