FIRS renews partnership and reconfirms continued commitment and support to A.Y.E Empowerment Nigeria program (AYEEN)

Africa’s largest entrepreneurship network (A.Y.E), headquartered in Johannesburg met with FIRS chairman, Mr. Fowler at his office in Abuja yesterday. In the meeting, the Chairman of FIRS acknowledged the role of A.Y.E in development and commended the organization for its growth and impact on entrepreneurship in Nigeria and Africa. The two teams led by A.Y.E President Summy Francis and FIRS chairman Mr. Babatunde Fowler met to extend their ongoing partnership of  the AYEEN 2017 program.

In the 2016 report compiled by FIRS communications and Servicom department, it was stated that the AYEEN 2016 partnership was favorable and instrumental in delivering thousands of new TIN registrations across the 6 different regions in Nigeria through the AYEEN program, the report also stated that through the program they were able to engage with thousands of entrepreneurs and business owners. The Johannesburg based organization through its AYEEN entrepreneurship program and reality TV show supported hundreds of young entrepreneurs with Grants, Equipment and Business loans.

The organization made it mandatory for the thousands who took part in AYEEN 2016 to be responsible tax paying citizens. FIRS team acknowledged the benefit of A.Y.E- FIRS long term partnership; Mr. Fowler expresses his faith in the partnership and encourages the organization to continue with the great work on private entrepreneurship and not rest on its horses until entrepreneurial advocacy and development culminate into job creation and have a significant impact on our Nation’s economy. He further guaranteed the continuous support of FIRS to A.Y.E.

Why is AYE headquartered in SA? And u guys want to create entrepreneurs in Nigeria,why take yours out? It's more insulting to know that this is owned by Nigerian. When you talk,act it.
