Etisalat
Nigeria says it would soon begin reward for customers who participated in the
Easybusiness Millionaire Hunt Promo, which is aimed at empowering Small and
Medium Enterprises (SME), reports DigitalSENSE
Business News.
The promo
avails customers to own grants, training, office equipment and expertise
support to actualise their business ideas.
DigitalSENSE Business News also
reports that entries for the scheme was originally scheduled to end on December
31, 2013 but was extended to January 31 to afford more SME owners the
opportunity to benefit from the offer.
According to Director,
Business Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Lucas Dada, who told DigitalSENSE Business News that
at least 50 winners will be selected and announced in February.
“The winners will
receive free training courses on entrepreneurial management and advisory
services from the esteemed Enterprise Development Centre of the Pan Atlantic
University. They will also be given office equipment while the top 10 winners will
win a cash sum of N2m each,” he said.
These
prospects, he said, have heightened expectations in the SME sector as the
Etisalat Easybusiness Millionaire Hunt Promo would go a long way in ensuring
that young entrepreneurs, who have fantastic business ideas, but lack the
required capital to pursue and realise their dreams, go beyond such obstacles.
Dada also said
that interested customers could still submit their ideas on or before January
31 by texting ‘Yes’ to 5885 from their Easybusiness lines and expressed
optimism that this innovation will help his company impact on a vital segment
of the economy in two important empowerment areas of knowledge and capital.
“The Etisalat
Easybusiness Millionaires Hunt is designed to reward Nigerian SMEs with the
most viable business ideas, with fantastic gifts to kick off their business in
the right direction. We are confident that the initiative would prove
beneficial to SME owners across the country and also have a ripple effect on
the sector, with beneficiaries further impacting on others,” he said.
Before this
stage, Etisalat had presented SMEs that made entries with over 100 Smartphones
won on daily basis as part of the promo.
