No fewer than 250 participants are set to graduate from the StartRight Lagos Entrepreneurship Training Programme, organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment in partnership with W-Holistic Business Solutions. The ceremony will hold Thursday at Adeyemi-Bero Hall, Alausa, Ikeja.
The programme provided entrepreneurs across Lagos with practical business and financial management skills, covering critical areas such as record-keeping, brand development, and business sustainability. Participants engaged in physical and digital boot camps to build comprehensive brand kits and position their businesses for growth in competitive markets.
A key feature was the competitive business pitching component, where participants were narrowed from 200 to 10 finalists. The final pitching session on Thursday will determine the top three winners, who, along with all participants, will receive financial support from the Ministry to scale their ventures.
