“Entrepreneurs are hardworking people who never give up despite the tough economic issues. As part of plugging into the digital space, we decided to also carry people along through social media.

He explained that the Tosin Adelana Foundation is an NGO that supports small business owners/ entrepreneurs who are financially challenged to start up or maintain their stability and assist those that have financial challenges medically.
“In 2023, we want to embark on more projects and we are open to collaborations to help more entrepreneurs,” he added.
