The program targets business owners in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa and will run for two months. It features a blend of live workshops, self-paced online learning, and a digital business pitch competition. The objective is to empower African entrepreneurs with the tools and skills needed to compete in today’s fast-evolving digital economy.

Program Structure: Three Key Stages

The training initiative consists of three core components:

1. Live Virtual Training Workshop

The program begins with a high-impact, 3 to 4-hour live webinar led by expert trainers from Ihifix. Key topics include business model innovation, growth strategies, digital marketing, financial planning, and the use of technology in scaling businesses. The session includes practical presentations, case studies, and interactive Q&A segments.

2. Self-Paced Online Courses and Certification

Participants will then continue with curated courses hosted on Google and HP platforms. These self-paced lessons cover areas like social media advertising, business strategy, cybersecurity, ICT tools, and more. Certificates will be issued upon completion of the modules.

3. Hackathon and Business Pitch Competition

At the end of the program, a virtual hackathon will challenge participants to develop innovative business solutions using their new skills. Finalists will present their ideas during a pitch competition, with the chance to win recognition, toolkits, and business development grants.

Man Arrested After Disguising as Dispatch Rider to Murder Ex-Girlfriend in Lagos

Residents of a Lagos estate were left in shock on Thursday night after a young woman, Deborah Porsche, popularly known as Debporsche, was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend, identified simply as Lintex, nearly a year after their breakup. According to reports, Lintex had repeatedly threatened Deborah since their split in August 2024, allegedly vowing: “If I don’t have you, nobody will. If I no marry you, blood go flow.” Deborah’s sister described her as a hardworking interior decorator who had just completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). She further alleged that the deceased endured emotional abuse throughout her relationship with Lintex, which ultimately pushed her to walk away. On the night of the attack, the suspect disguised himself as a dispatch rider in an attempt to infiltrate the estate. Security guards reportedly stopped him at the gate, but he scaled the fence and gained entry to Deborah’s apartment. Eyewitnesses said Lintex first tampered with the gas cylinder line outside the apartment, allegedly trying to cause an explosion. When that failed, he forced his way inside and stabbed Deborah multiple times with a knife he brought along. Alarmed neighbours rushed to the scene and alerted the police. The suspect was subdued and handed over to law enforcement officers. Police authorities have confirmed the incident, stating that investigations are ongoing. Deborah’s tragic death has sparked outrage online and renewed calls for stronger legal protections for women against abusive and obsessive partners.
