They are proof that when entrepreneurs are equipped with the right knowledge, they create stronger businesses, better jobs, and more resilient economies.
Training creates value only when it changes how entrepreneurs build. Across the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme, we're seeing exactly that.
These stories are more than testimonials. They show what becomes possible when experience is shared, potential is nurtured, and entrepreneurs are supported to thrive. #TEF2026
Across the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme, mentors are helping entrepreneurs challenge assumptions, strengthen their businesses, and build with greater confidence and clarity.
Access to capital is important because it helps you to prove your concept and idea. But equally important... We need to talk about handholding and mentorship... we need to build an environment that lends itself that supports young entrepreneurs to succeed.” Tony O Elumelu CFR,
This week, don't just chase success; build something that outlives you. Africa's greatest wealth isn't its resources. It's the institutions we build and the entrepreneurs we empower to create lasting prosperity. What are you building this week?
The #TEFSquad has landed in Cameroon! On est là! Let's make some impact together.
Entrepreneurs, listen up! Success is built long before anyone notices. This week, keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep building. The work you do today may become the breakthrough everyone celebrates tomorrow. #tef2026
