Sponsored by UBA, the foundation is a brainchild of billionaire Nigerian business mogul and philanthropist Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu. “Since its inception, the foundation has funded, trained and equipped 300 entrepreneurs in three years,” she revealed, adding that seven Liberians entrepreneurs in various sectors had benefited from TEF’s mentorship program. We have unleashed a movement of African entrepreneurs — a force so strong, so inspiring, that I am confident they will collectively transform Africa. It was established in 2010 to encourage and empower entrepreneurs, promote thought leadership and create an integrated entrepreneurial ecosystem that drives African entrepreneurship. Since it was founded, the TEF has catalyzed the development of entrepreneurs and innovators in Africa.
