The Tony Elumelu Foundation programme has helped many to attained financial breakthrough by expanding their business.
More than 150,000 Africans from 114 countries worldwide applied to join the 4th cycle of The Tony Elumelu Foundation’s (TEF) 10-year, $100 million TEF Entrepreneurship Programme.
Today, the Foundation announced the African entrepreneurs with the most innovative, high-potential business ideas.
Having shut down the 2018 Tony Elumelu Foundation programme registration – which lasted for 2 months, the list of successful entrepreneurs has just been released.
The 2018 cohort includes an additional 250 entrepreneurs to the standard selection of 1,000 – thanks to: a $1,000,000 partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to support 200 entrepreneurs in conflict and fragile zones of Nigeria (the North East where the Boko Haram scourge is felt and the Niger Delta region which suffers environmental degradation from oil spillage).
