NerdzFactory Foundation is accepting applications for the PowerUp Entrepreneurship Program 2024. The PowerUP Entrepreneurship Program empowers young Nigerians by providing them with the necessary tools and support to excel as entrepreneurs. The program will expose participants to skills that they require to start and grow their business.
