In a bid to empower young Nigerians, Mobile telecommunications company MTN Nigeria has launched the ‘BlowMyHustle’ campaign.
This campaign seeks to provide support and help young Nigerians who own businesses scale. It is also geared towards building entrepreneurial skills and providing them with the right principles to excel in various industries.
Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Adia Sowho said, “The ‘hustle spirit’ amongst Nigeria’s young people is truly inspiring as they are innovative and entrepreneurial. MTN is here to support that ‘hustle’ so that their dreams can become reality.
“Young business owners have told us what they need, and with ‘MTN Pulse Blow My Hustle’, we will share business skills from experts in relevant fields and create access to financial grants. We look forward to the transformation that this initiative will propel.”
Through this campaign, MTN seeks to target 100 candidates, who when short-listed will be given the privilege to gain access to virtual training on Financial Literacy, Business Management, Investment Strategies, Digital Marketing, Business Legal Requirements, and Elevator Pitches amongst others; and tasks will be assigned after each class.
Also, the top 20 contestants will be selected based on performance after the two-week training period as finalists who will present their business ideas to a panel of judges, and engage in a brief question and answer session.
