‘The Hack’ is a business and networking mentorship programme targets young business owners who hope to grow their businesses and offers leadership and management skills to them.

Designed for emergent entrepreneurs, the programme will be facilitated by business experts who will share ideas with participants and groom them to scale their businesses.

a statement which was made available to Prime Business Africa by 9mobile on Wednesday explained that ‘The Hack’ ”focuses broadly on the endless opportunities in the SME sector while addressing particular problems that business owners confront. The workshop will assist business owners in expanding their enterprises and overcoming obstacles.”

Saidat Lawal-Mohammed, the Director of Marketing Communications at 9mobile, said that the positive feedback from participants at the first edition and requests from other parts of the country encouraged the telecoms company to do ”an encore in Abuja,” while other cities would be unveiled soon.

She explained the initiative fulfilled the Operator’s brand promise to enable Nigerians, especially youths, to do more.

“We are happy to assist entrepreneurs, including aspiring ones across the country, with the knowledge they need to grow their companies with our innovative platform, The Hack. And given that Abuja is home to many entrepreneurs, we are eager to have this second edition there,” she said.

According to Lawal-Mohammed, ”9mobile will continue to support entrepreneurs, start-ups, and MSMEs and would not waver as an enabler of individuals and businesses.”

Recall that the first edition of ‘The Hack’ took place in Lagos in June and featured speakers, including Director of Strategy, 9mobile, Karn Gulati, and business and sales expert Tricia Olufemi- Olumide (TriciaBiz).
