Months of planning and passionate work finally came together on Thursday, October 25 at the TEF Entrepreneurship Forum.<\/p>\n

It was exciting to see the play of colours as the National flags hung on the skyline of our venue. Our people, as usual, were present with pride and eager to serve – from Africa Prudential Plc manning the registration stand to our Group executives scouring the venue to ensure everything was in place.<\/p>\n

Four years of empowering African youths, putting together the largest gathering of African Entrepreneurs and working towards the common goal of transforming the continent. Yet, it never gets old. The excitement, the impact, the value, the appreciation. The Tony Elumelu Foundation is indeed transforming the continent and we are so excited to be part of the experience<\/p>\n

We have a few highlights captured below in pictures.<\/p>\n
