Africa is a very rich continent - oil, gas, gold, diamonds, platinum, cobalt, emeralds, rich soils etc. but above all it’s greatest asset is it’s young people. Join us to celebrate one of our largest investments in young people - the iDICE Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Understanding entrepreneurship from a textbook is not the same as practicing it. You need to have been one of them to understand what it is and what is needed. Say aha if you agree. So on this day let’s hear it from the young entrepreneurs themselves #paga.
