The first ever MotivaComedy Students Entrepreneurial Summit,
MOSES UNILAG 2024 in a campus, will take place at the Afe Babalola Auditorium, at the University of Lagos on December 4th, 2024 by 10am prompt.
Already the organisers of the event lead by their Coordinator, Mr. Somi Uranta, who is also the founder/CEO of Somi Steam Car Wash/Bar, Oregun, visited the university of first choice last week to dot and cross all the I’s and T’s and they were warmly received by the Dean of Faculty of Arts, Prof Akanbi Mudasiru Ilupeju, the Sub Dean, Dr. Ogunjewo Henry B, the Head of the Department of Philosophy, Prof Chiedozie Benjamin Okoro and some students Union Leaders, all of who promised to do everything legit in line with the rules and regulations of the ivory tower to support and mobilalise the students’ population to attend the free summit where 10 students whose business ideas pitches are the best will get a three months qpprenticeship, mentoring, and start-up funds to expose their business ideas to the larger Nigerian community.
The theme of the summit is: “Mindset Change: From Job Seekers to Job Creators.”
The University of Lagos is just a take off point of what is expected to be taken round Nigerian tertiary institutions in the six geo- political zones of the country.
Speaking during the visit, Mr. Uranta said, “the December 4th edition that will take place here, is just the starting point of what we intend to take round the country. We are starting here because UNILAG is the university of first choice in Nigeria, and it is only natural that being an Akokite myself, charity should and must begin from home. Great things starts here first,” he said.
According to Uranta, this is not the first time MotivaComedy is organising such summit. It has been on it for the last 12 years.
For instance, on November 8th, 2023, Motivacomedy took already and would-Be – entrepreneurs to the Marriot Hotels in Ikeja GRA to highlight the secrets in real estate and export business, partnering with the likes of the Association of Small Business Owners of Nigeria-ASBON, Corporate Affairs Commission-CAC, The Nigeria Export Promotion Council-NEPC, Lagos State Employment Trust Fund-LSETF and a host of others.
For this entrepreneurial summit, various cooperate bodies and several individuals who have made a mark within the business ecosystem have been lined up to inculcate in the students the spirit of enterprise and entrepreneuring at the summit.
As the date draws nearer, we will unveil their identities and publish their C. Vs.
