Today, dawn feels brighter and comfy as the starry curtains of the night sky, pave the way for light and good tidings. GABI is here with good news, to silence the cynics and light up the face of the optimists with hope. The 2022 Studentpreneur’s Award is a testament to the changed narrative, highlighting a crystal clear fact that Nigerian youths no longer wallow in indolence, but are picking up the baton of change and are ready to make the run for a future, great and promising.
GABI like her name implies (Gaining Ascendency by Inspiration), inspired by the vigor and the relentless spirits embodied by these young minds, decided to play the role of a mother, nudging them towards entrepreneurial success. GABI is a global media firm with a mandate of helping entrepreneurs and careerists across diverse cultures and backgrounds grow successful businesses and thrive in their respective spheres of influence.
It’s this drive and mission that led to the birth of the Studentpreneur’s Award, set to celebrate student entrepreneurs and innovators across the country and subsequently across the globe. We believe with the right exposure and a platform to stand on, these bright minds will reach their goals faster and contribute immensely to national development. The journey for the 2022 Studentpreneur’s Award began last year in November. Hundreds of entries were received from an evenly represented community of students across the country, who are driving change and impact through entrepreneurial leadership.
Selecting the top 50 was a tough job for our experienced panelists. Determining
who makes the top 3 shortlist was an even harder job. But in the end, this is not a race with winners and losers. Everyone who participated in the award is deserving of a medal. Everyone is a change maker and we are dedicated to ensuring that everyone is GABI
(Gaining Ascendancy By Inspiration).
Meet our top three student entrepreneurs with outstanding business ideas, credible tractions and a high growth potential.
