Being the third edition, the highly competitive entrepreneurship programme will have 200 participants selected from the 17 states of southern Nigeria for the 2021 cohort. Also, as a way of supporting the comprehensive rehabilitation and reintegration of returned migrants, 50 female returnees will also take part in the programme. U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Officer Stephen Ibelli said the AWE initiative is a great opportunity for Nigerian women entrepreneurs to gain university-level business and management training, strengthen their networks, and grow sustainable businesses. AWE is a transformative initiative that is helping women in Nigeria build and sustain their businesses, and the opportunities that come from this programme are immense. Female entrepreneurs interested in participating in the AWE programme can apply at no cost by filling out the application form via https://bit.ly/applyawe2021.
