Tecno explained that reviews and assessments were tough, “but at the end of the month-long activity, 10 entrepreneurs were shortlisted, even though only nine showed up. At the end of the pitching, two winners were selected based on their communication skills, creativity, and business acumen. The two winners, Amaka Judith, a shoemaker and Mercy Orlu, a soap maker, went away with N1 million each. There were also winners across the country, who bought a SPARK 3 smartphone, got a raffle ticket and also emerged as millionaires in the regional raffle draws. They are Alex Mbamalu, Fatolu Kemi, Maduakolam Chinaza and Ugbesia Efe who were also presented with their prize money.
