Founder, Mentor Intro Africa, Fola Niyi-Duale, has expressed enthusiasm about the successful completion of a six-week intensive mentorship programme for 40 persons, aimed at raising the next generation of global business leaders.
Woodhall Capital International Foundation (WCIF), which is the philanthropic arm of the leading financial advisory firm, Woodhall Capital, organised the event in partnership with Mentor Intro Africa, a premier platform connecting Africa’s rising talent with world-class mentors.
Niyi-Duale, who said that the programme served as a launch pad to the mentees to realise their big dreams, also recounted success stories emerging during the sessions.
“We have a couple of people who have set up their businesses in the course of this mentorship. This programme has given them the clarity and the courage to do what they didn’t know they could do. We are very excited about the greatness this cohort will accomplish.
“At a time marked by renewed investor optimism and economic resurgence, Nigeria’s business confidence appears to be on a steady rise — signalling a rising demand for goods, services, and visionary leadership. It was against this backdrop that the Foundation came up with this transformative initiative aimed at preparing a new generation of change-makers for the future of African enterprise,” she said.
