Entrepreneurship:

@LatifatOpoola Olamide Olajide and Ojo Oluwafemi are both executive directors of a company, Perspective Changers Multi-concept Limited. The firm encourages and provides entrepreneurial platforms for Nigerian youth and startups.

In this encounter with YOUTHVILLE, the budding entrepreneurs say they are out to change the perspective and orientation of youth about entrepreneurship.

“Back then there was a decay and error in the thinking of youth that we are trying to correct. We were told when growing up, that learning a trade leads to poverty. That was embedded in us, but due to the promotion of entrepreneurship lifestyle, we have seen the need to change this orientation,” they said.

Having trained about 2,500 youth in four training sessions since January 2016, the directors said their company provides competitive platform for students in tertiary institutions and also hosts entrepreneurial workshops for students.

“We are basically out to encourage entrepreneurs. This will lead to a form of empowerment in the Nation, which will in turn lead to excess output that will lead to export thereby improving the productivity power of our nation,” they said.

The young duo advised youth to be imaginative, creative, and be effective in whatever they lay their hands on stressing that it is their surest way to success.

“We want to be known as the most encouraging entrepreneurship platform in Africa. In all these, there have been challenges but they have always been our strength,” they said.
