Nigeria’s first online newspaper and TV platform for entrepreneurs known as make it has been launched during the week.
The online newspaper/TV is an idea conceived by a former newspaper editor and marketing communications specialist, Olabode Opeseitan, who teamed up with other like minds to actualise the concept.
In a statement signed by the online newspaper’s Editor, Paul Dada, make it is described as a “unique news portal and top-notch medium for exclusive interviews, inspirational stories, remarkable analyses and unique pictures of Nigerian, African and global entrepreneurs”.
“The truth is that every entrepreneur wants to make it”, posited Dada.
He said “make it, which can be accessed through its website, www.makeitglobal.biz, will offer in-depth information about investment opportunities, business growth, grants, loans and innovations. It will feature relevant resources which aspiring and established businessmen and women can leverage to maximise opportunities across various sectors of the economy”, Dada said.
“Entrepreneurship is a major tool Nigeria can use to tackle the scourge of unemployment, hunger and deprivation ravaging our country. Our mission is to support all the entrepreneurial initiatives of public and private institutions across the broad spectrum of our society, strengthen entrepreneurs and motivate them to succeed. This platform will be made available to all entrepreneurs rich or poor, new or old to share their amazing stories of successes and challenges”, he stated.
According to the statement, “make it has an online TV channel dedicated to stories about entrepreneurship around the world”.
“In a country where the number of those who are either unemployed or underemployed stands at about 34 million people out of our potential labour force of 85 million people, there is no doubt that one of the viable options available to address the situation is for Nigerians to develop more interest in entrepreneurship,” the make it editor stated.
