Tuface Idibia and Stephanie Okereke-Linus have joined forces with the Nigerian Young Professionals Forum NYPF in their struggle to grow more aboriginal entrepreneurs and encourage the culture of self-reliance among young Nigerians.
As part of their commitment to the NYPF, the newly signed brand ambassadors will participate in NYPF events that connect entrepreneurs at home and abroad, lend their voices to projects that stimulate a start-up culture in Nigeria and also harness their own ideas and experiences to NYPF goals.
During the signing ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria, Chairman NYPF, Moses Siasia said the multiple award winning stars were selected by NYPF to champion its cause because they have ideas on how to develop entrepreneurs in the country.
“As you know Tuface is one of Africa’s finest artists while Stephanie has featured and produced movies that have been shown all over the world and her passion for the girl child.
“These two young individuals have created jobs for Nigerians and we believe that as Ambassadors, they can use their experience to inspire other bright Nigerians to achieve their educational goals or become self-employed on a sustainable basis”.
According to Siasia, “ when we empower our women, everyone benefits because women use their success for social good and causes and tend to invest more in their communities”.
The NYPF, a non-governmental organisation made up of over 5000 young business owners residing in Nigeria and the Diaspora has been at the forefront of building the next generations of business frontiers for Nigerians.
