Ten entrepreneurs in Nsukka have received cheques of N300,000 each to boost their business at the Life Progress Booster Show, an initiative of Life Lager Beer, a brand committed to supporting small and medium scale entrepreneurs in South-East Nigeria.
Presentation of cheques was done on Sunday, September 10, 2017 by managers of the brand at Golden Valley Hotels and Suites, Ugwuawarawa, Nsukka, Enugu bringing the number of entrepreneurs who have benefited from the grant in 2017 to sixty.
