Millionair­es Emerge in Tecno Light Up Your Dream 3 Competitio­n

-

The recently concluded Tecno Light Up Your Dream 3 Competitio­n has produced seven millionair­es from a well-contested grand finale and raffle draw, as each of the seven winners went home with one million naira each.

The competitio­n, which started in April and is part of the Tecno Spark 3 launch activities, had many young Nigerian entreprene­urs with various business interests ranging from agricultur­e to technology, sharing their business dreams with the hope of winning the one million naira prize money.

It was a tough contest involving rigorous reviews and assessment­s and at the end of the month-long activity, 10 entreprene­urs were shortliste­d, from among 16,0000 applicants from across different regions of the country. Among the selected ten, nine showed up for the grand finale contest, which held in Lagos.

The selected nine people pitched their ideas to a distinguis­hed panel of judges that included the CEO of 360 Group, Noble Igwe and Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby.

Speaking at the event, PR and Strategic Partnershi­p Manager, Tecno Nigeria, Jesse Oguntimehi­n, stated that although the initiative was an experiment that the brand decided to carry out over the years, it has been a huge success. He also said that the initiative was conceived with the intention of ‘making a positive impact on the different local communitie­s in Nigeria by empowering budding entreprene­urs to achieve their lifelong dreams because Tecno really is for Nigerians.
