TEFCIRCLE - AUGUST 2025

At the Tony Elumelu Foundation, we know that capital is beneficial for kickstarting every young entrepreneur’s business journey, but competence, community, and continuity sustain it. In light of this, we have set up the right impact pillars to set this in motion—practically, visibly, and at scale.

In August, we demonstrated this at our Business Clinic with Deloitte where seasoned practitioners sat shoulder-to-shoulder with our entrepreneurs, translating theory into operating discipline across key growth areas: financial housekeeping, investor readiness, and governance. This builds on a year of the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s various empowerment initiatives with Deloitte, culminating in our young African entrepreneurs stepping onto global stages with sharper models and clearer narratives of value.
