Arising from a successful and well attended first Entrepreneurship and Innovations organized by the office of the Technical Adviser to the Bayelsa state governor on Entrepreneurship Development ,the convener, Mrs Charity Ken Godwin said the summit attracted high profile acclaimed Entrepreneurs from within Bayelsa state and outside and she gave kudos to the Bayelsa state governor,Senator Douye Diri for his unwavering support towards empowering Bayelsans in various skills.<\/p>\n
“Though Governor ,senator Douye Diri would have been present but due to state functions , he was unavoidably absent,but delegated his workaholic Deputy Governor,senator Lawrence Evwrudjakpo,who couldn’t make it due to urgent state matters ,but mobilized the fleet that conveyed our dignatries from the airport” <\/p>\n
The essence of the maiden Summit on Entrepreneurship and innovation was a vowed commitment to mentorship and capacity building for future Bayelsa Entrepreneurs, and to give them insight to innovations in a competitive world and it was a moment to nurture , guide and empower them to expand their enterprises by inspiring them from the lectures and experiences from personalities that have made it from the scratch. <\/p>\n
In an interview with journalists, Mrs Charity Ken Godwin, the Technical Adviser to the governor on Entrepreneurship Development , said the participants were opportune to learn from lectures from distinguished Lecturers from Department of Entrepreneurship and successful business men that have excelled and become role model in their various endeavours.<\/p>\n
“We have never had it so good in Bayelsa state , as governor Douye Diri has been so committed towards empowerment and we gathered participants to come and learn from successful business men from across the country. They cannot be successful without mentorship”<\/p>\n
Her office since the inception had trained 5,150 persons,at the last one it had 3,500 persons who were given starter packs and 2,850 persons were qualified” <\/p>\n
On whether why the participants were not given starter pack, she said they have been equipped with starter pack before now, as most of the participants were already making waves in their various chosen skills and we thought it wise that it was needful to re – train them by mentoring them to expand their business and networking. And to re – orientate their minds and ideas on how to manage their businesses.<\/p>\n
” After now we believe successful Entrepreneurs will emerge as there is no way they will liste and learn from these lectures and experiences and not take home something tangible and ideas to manage their businesses” she said.<\/p>\n
“It was a rare privilege for the participants to hear directly from business magnates such as the Chief Executive Officer of Coscharis Motors, Dr Maduka ,the CEO of Innoson Motors,chief Innocent Chukwuma and our own son, the CEO of Ayala Group of Companies , Chief Robert Enogha and a crop of renowned Lecturers from various universities”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
