She explained that the programme, which started in 2003 has 56 set in Lagos and on 30th set in Abuja, saying of all these people that have been on this programme, a lot of entrepreneurs have become industry leaders and are doing things affecting the ecosystem.

She stated that “the centre has trained entrepreneurs that want to deepen the ecosystem by grooming other Nigerians to set up businesses in boosting the economy.

On the coming in of new government, Okekearu called for a better enabling environment for businesses to thrive on, saying that “what entrepreneurs require is enabling environment. So once that enabling environment is there, there will not be multiplicity of taxes.”

She added that “our hope is that the incoming government will take that into consideration because once there is an enabling environment, businesses will thrive and this will lead to increase in employment, produce more goods and services and pay taxes.”

She reiterated the management commitment in building a network of entrepreneurial leaders through commitment to continuous learning, process improvement and business integrity.

Also, the regional vicar of Opus Dei/ chancellor, Pan Atlantic University, the Rev Fr Anthony Odoh, said that EDC is the last 20 years has helped to boost the economy of Nigeria as this called for gratitude to God.

He stated that people have realised that going into business is not all about capitalbut to be trained. He stated that there is an increase in productivity for people in business who have passed through EDC programme, and this led to more people coming for training in the Centre.

Since it was established in 2003, the focus of the EDC has been professionalizing and equipping managers of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) with the skills needed to achieve and sustain success in their entrepreneurial endeavours. Its flag-ship programme is the Certificate programme in Entrepreneurial Management (CEM) through which it trains and supports over 150 new business owners every year.
