In a brief chat with Mr Ololade Soyemi Business Analyst & Development Manager he said "Life is a rare opportunity to make your mark and create your own history by accomplishing real deeds in the face of impediments. Winasbet as lead/headline sponsor of NSFDW in the last 3years concurrently was glad to be part of the winning initiative aimed at driving youth and graduate entrepreneur development across tertiary institution in Nigeria. The goal of our partnership is to oil/grease the wheel of wealth of Nigeria economy via youth and graduate entrepreneur skill acquisition. The youths and graduates are promising Nigerian that have felt the pang of frustration and misery associated with the economy down turn engendered by unemployment. The vicious cycle of poverty is such that it can work to even mentally disempower youth, leaving them disenfranchised and disillusioned at the long term prospects for their lives in their home country.


However, we cannot all fold hands because of bad governance. We must try to capture the minds of this youths at a very tender age and instil into them several opportunities that abounds in the environment Winasbet strongly believed to encourage high entrepreneurship patronage among our teeming of youth especially on viable micro and small businesses".
