An innovative blue-collar online market source, Rise.ng, has unveiled plans to empower 36 million Nigerians with capacity-building certifications necessary to connect artisans to customers, provide employment and stem the country’s brain drain tide across the 36 states of the federation. “Our partners in Harvard Business School and other partnering institutions will deliver the online training. While reaching out to intending partners, she said, “Empowering 36 million people is not a joke so, we need support from every sector to ensure that this is a success. “It’s time the artisans know that if they are not organised, they will not be visible. The reason it’s difficult to tell the size of artisans is that they are not organised and platforms like Risé will help organise them and put more value on them.”
