Goldberg, a brand from
the stable of Nigerian Breweries Plc, is set to unveil an empowerment scheme
tagged ‘Isedowo’ in the Southwestern part of Nigeria on Thursday, August 31,
2017.
Isedowo, which is designed to equip young Yoruba men and
women with the support to grow their businesses, will be unveiled at the palace
of the revered monarch, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II.
Emmanuel Agu,
Portfolio Manager, Mainstream Lager and Stout Brands, Nigerian Breweries Plc,
said that, in addition to Goldberg’s commitment to culture and the tradition of
the Yoruba people, it would use Isedowo to inspire entrepreneurship in
the region thus impacting employment and income generation.
“Through Isedowo,
Goldberg will extend its links with the people of the Southwest beyond culture
and tradition to the entrepreneurial passion of the people,” he said.
Commenting on the
modalities for the scheme, Agu said that interested participants would be
required to showcase their business ideas and how it impacts the society in
order to benefit from the empowerment scheme.
Participants will
go through a screening and selection process across the Southwest after which
the top 100 participants will be rewarded with a grant of N300, 000 each to be
invested in growing their business.
Goldberg is known
across the Southwest as a leading supporter of culture and tradition, and
through Isedowo, it will help the youth to achieve their business and
entrepreneurial potential.
