The first ever MotivaComedy Students Entrepreneurial Summit is set to hold at the Afe Babalola Auditorium, at the University of Lagos on December 4.

Organisers of the event led by their Coordinator, Mr. Somi Uranta, recently visited the University and were welcomed by the Dean of Faculty of Arts, Prof. Akanbi Mudasiru Ilupeju; the Sub Dean, Dr. Ogunjewo Henry, the Head of the Department of Philosophy, Prof. Chiedozie Benjamin Okoro and some Student Union leaders, who promised to do everything in line with the rules and regulations of the Ivory Tower to support and mobillise the students’ population to attend the free summit.

10 students whose Business Ideas Pitches are the best will get a three-months Apprenticeship, Mentoring, and Start-Up Funds to expose their business ideas to the larger Nigerian community.

The Theme of the Summit is: “Mindset Change: From Job Seekers to Job Creators.”

The University of Lagos is just a take-off point of what is expected to be taken round other tertiary Institutions in the six geo- political zones of the country.

Speaking during the visit, Mr. Uranta said, “The December 4th Edition that will take place here is just the starting point of what we intend to take round the country. We are starting here because UNILAG is the University of first choice in Nigeria, and it is only natural that being an Akokite myself, charity should and must begin from home. Great things starts here first.”

According to Uranta, MotivaComedy is on its 12th year.

For instance, on November 8th, 2023, Motivacomedy took established and aspiring entrepreneurs to the Marriot Hotels in Ikeja GRA to highlight the Secrets in Real Estate and Export business, partnering with the likes of the Association of Small Business Owners of Nigeria (ASBON), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) and a host of others.

For this year’s summit, various corporate bodies and several Individuals who have made a mark within the business ecosystem have been lined up to inculcate in the students the spirit of enterprise and entrepreneurship at the summit.
