Student Leadership & Entrepreneurship Program (SLEP)
Empowering undergraduates in public higher institutions with the skills to ideate, start, and scale businesses while on campus.
Why SLEP?
The program was inspired by a 2018 crisis at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, where nearly 1,000 students were forced to defer their studies due to unpaid tuition.
We realized that academic structures lacked practical entrepreneurial training. SLEP bridges this gap by building "Campus Entrepreneurs"—students equipped to earn a livelihood while pursuing their education.
