As part of efforts towards creating job opportunit­ies for unemployed youths, an entreprene­ur and mother of four, yesterday launched a multi-million naira bakery and confection­aries in the nation’s capital, Abuja

Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer, Ugee Bakery and Confection­aries, Mrs. Orya Febronia, during the launching identified strength, wisdom and knowledge as key catalyst to youth entreprene­urial skills developmen­t.

Orya disclosed that, being a success-driven female entreprene­ur involves more than having sufficient money to start-up business.

The CEO explained that, she was a believer of the woman’s world and her ability to change her environmen­t. According to her, “I got married very early and my husband, challenged me to be independen­t. I don’t see myself as a woman with the strength and passion that I have. I believe that women need to identify what they want and do it right. Even if her dream is just to be a wife, women need to understand that men do not want to marry a woman without passion or dreams. “What you have upstairs makes you more attractive, valuable and not the beauty. I always tell girls that, if they are determined, they can it in whatever they choose to do, I tell them that it is not necessaril­y about hairstyle, hairdos, make-up, dressed up and shaking of their body. The owner of the multi million naira bakery located in Karu, a suburb of the city centre, revealed that in order to ensure success in her business, she has to travelled abroad for three months study on bakery.
