IT was a gathering of  the technology-savvy people and millennials.  Indeed, an assemblage of a galaxy of young guys who are eager to be exposed to the world of web security, hone their skills and poised to change the face of web worldwide using PageCarton.

It was PageCarton Conference which the convener, Mr. Ayoola Falola,described as  the largest gathering of people using PageCarton to change the face of web worldwide.
“We are putting Nigeria on the world map”, Falola enthused while narrating how he started the project.

The PageCarton Conference which kicked off on 20th November, 2018 climaxed over the weekend.

The programme which took place at Nustreams Conference and Culture Centre, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital,was a week-long event featuring
experts/beginners’ training and crash courses, exhibition and demo, discussion sessions, question-and-answer sessions, Ibadan tech tour and lectures from experts in the fields of entrepreneurship and technology. They included Pastor Francis Madojemu who is a social entrepreneur and architect; Mr. Pacqueens Irabor, the Oyo State Manager of Bank of Industry, (BOI), and a host of others.

Mr. Irabor who spoke on:’Funding Tech-based Start-ups’, urged the participants to focus on products (both tangible and intangible) that people would be interested in.

The Bank of Industry manager said:”Every business that can interest people will never lack funding. If your products is a bundle of joy, people will like it. If  people love it, they will support it. Get products that everybody will love.

“There are a lot of opportunities on online platforms but focus on facilitating the other people’s businesses.  ‘Lovepreneurship’ in the way to go ,show love to others in business. Entrepreneurship is not the solution to unemployment”.

Irabor argued that  the solutions are in apprenticeship and salesmanship.

While stressing the importance of the two terms, Irabor said:” You don’t have to recreate the wheel.  Anybody  can develop any product but not every body can market products.

“It is sad that we have created a notion for our youth that only entrepreneurship can solve the problem lack of employment in Nigeria, it has been tried many time by our government and the failure is alarming.

“The way out of unemployment is to imbibe apprenticeship and salesmanship, we should give the youth the opportunity for them to reason and do something on their own, without an organisation, our youth can not deliver on their vision because they need an organisation to deliver their vision and to understand how that organisation works”, he said.

He reiterated  that selling already established product by the Nigerian youth and putting themselves in the supply chain and bridging the gap between distributors and buyers will help them a lot.

“There is a lot of experimentations that goes on in the world of business and it is apprenticeship and salesmanship that can make our youth to understand how business is run, lack of enabling environment for business to thrive in Nigeria is even an opportunity for Nigerian youth to thrive in their business”, Irabor added.

The manager also explained  what the start-ups needed to obtain loans from the Bank of Industry.

The BOI chief said they must have business plans and be committed to the business,adding that what is needed  to secure BOI’s facilities is social collateral.
