Advisory Board Chairman, International Breweries Foundation, Mr. Peter Bamkole charged awardees to make good use of the training they received, work with their mentors, and judiciously channel the grant provided to grow their businesses.

According to Bamkole, “Kickstart Initiative is committed to empowering youths within the age bracket of 18 to 35 years to be productive, independent and, more importantly, successful employers of labour. To ensure this happens, we do not leave them to wander off on their own after the programme because we recognise the vital role of mentorship in business. We assign mentors to guide them on their entrepreneurship journey and help them navigate the pitfalls in business.”

An elated Olatunbosun Abiodun, a circular packaging entrepreneur who received the grand award of three million naira (N3M) said, “I will use the grant and training to improve my business, hire more staff and contribute to achieving a cleaner environment. I cannot appreciate the Kickstart initiative and International Breweries Plc enough for this gesture.”
