The company stated this while presenting successful past winners of its renowned Kickstart Initiative to the deputy governors and community heads in Ogun and Rivers states.

The courtesy visits provided the young entrepreneurs the opportunity to interact with and showcase their businesses to the government of the state and community leaders where their businesses are resident.

At the presentation ceremony, the deputy governor of Ogun State, Noimot Salako-Oyedele commended IBPLC for its impactful social investment in Nigerian youths. She expressed pride in the achievements of the entrepreneurs from the state, emphasising that the Kickstart programme is a testament to the untapped potential of Nigerian youths.

The Olu of Orile Imo, Oba Oluwambe Reuben Sogaolu  said: “I want to thank International Breweries Plc. I have been attending and monitoring the Kickstart programme since 2019. My message to the beneficiaries is to be accountable. When someone invests in you, your accountability reassures and motivates them to assist others.”
