The Founder, Dr. Oluwaseun A. FADIPE, who spoke through the foundation’s Public Engagement Officer, Akeem Adebomojo after the training, said a sizeable number of the beneficiaries would be selected from the pool of submitted applications during the one-week entrepreneurship week.

The Foundation will train the shortlisted Corps members through our partnership scheme with D’amire fashion training school located in the heart of Lagos for three months.

Akeem added that upon completion of the training school, the foundation would present to some of the Corp members sewing machines as a token to start their business during the official graduation.

“The vocation chosen for this 2022 February/March batch is fashion, which is tagged ‘Ajuwaya Fashionpreneur’ with the intention to go into other vocations such as ICT, Agriculture, Fabrications, Creative Arts and others,” Adebomojo said.

To support NYSC SEAD scheme in Lagos camp, the foundation also donated fashion-designing equipment to the camp to help with their entrepreneurship fashion competition. While receiving the machine on behalf of the state coordinator, Mrs. Stella Nweke, the SEAD coordinator thanked the founder and charged other Nigerians to emulate PFF by giving back to the society.
