A team led by Ms. Chioma Aniagolu of the MTN ICT successfully held a business skills training in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The two-day training, which was graced by ICT and business experts, we gathered, aimed at teaching business owners the art of positioning their businesses in the minds of the target audience and how to make money using business skills and digital tools.
The event had various teams who presented their ideas after brainstorming for minutes. Some of the ideas presented include waste management/recycling, melon seed farming and fish farming. However, one idea stood out based on its focus on addressing societal problems in Nasarawa.
The event was attended by eminent personalities like the permanent secretary, ministry of information, culture and tourism in Nasarawa State, Mr. Allahnana Attah; director, MTN Foundation, Mrs. Aishatu Sadauki; director, MTN Foundation, Mr. Dennis Okoro, and Emir of Akiri, H.R.H Alh. Umaru Suleiman, who presented a certificate of participation to the participants.
One of the participants, Mrs. Stella Ajige who runs a fashion brand, applauded MTN Nigeria for the opportunity of the platform. She said; “I believe that technology has come to stay and our brands will grow bigger if we leverage on this, I have learned about website and content creation that will appeal to my audience. My goal is to be visible, especially to the world and I know this training will help my business grow.”
Not only did the participants go home with the knowledge of ICT and business skills, some outstanding guests also left the conference hall with exciting gifts that will always remind them that MTN Nigeria cares.
