THE Women and Girls Empowerment Foundation International (WOGEFI) has organised the fifth edition of ‘Hanging out with Dr Riches’, which is set to take place on Friday, February 28, 2025, at the prestigious Buba Marwa Auditorium at Lagos State University (LASU), beginning promptly at 10:00 am.
This highly anticipated gathering aims to help students strike a balance between academic commitments and entrepreneurial pursuits, offering valuable tools for success both inside and outside the classroom. As a free event dedicated exclusively to students, it promises to inspire and empower the next generation of young entrepreneurs,
The event will feature an impressive lineup of distinguished Special Guests, including Prof. Sola Fosudo, Dr Abayomi Bello, Mr Bakare Adeoye, Prof. Omolola Ladele, Dr Olawunmi Macaulay-Adeyelure, and Dr Yeside Dosumu-Lawal, who is also one of the Speakers of the day.
Keynote speakers of the day include Dr Riches (Founder, WOGEFI), who will enlighten attendees on the topic “Balancing Academics with Side Hustle”, and Dr Gab, who will speak on “Speak Right to Achieve Your Goals”.
The event will offer a variety of entertainment options, including food and drinks, live music, dancing with a top DJ, and interactive games designed to foster interaction among participants.
A major highlight of the event is the Imperio and Viva Plus Student Empowerment Pack initiative, which provides students with the tools to kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys. Each participating student will receive a pack valued at ₦10,000, with the opportunity to earn at least ₦1,500 in profits after sales. This initiative encourages financial independence and motivates students to build sales skills and develop entrepreneurial thinking.
Note that the Imperio and Viva Plus Student Empowerment Pack initiative will always be available to students for N10,000 even after the event.
To further inspire participation, students who achieve the highest sales will be rewarded with exciting prizes. The top three sales performers stand a chance to win exclusive rewards and other enticing gifts designed to recognise and celebrate their efforts.
This event is free for students, but space is limited to only 2,000 participants. Interested students are encouraged to secure their spots as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this empowering experience.
The event is supported by prominent sponsors such as Aspira Nigeria Ltd, Oxford Biscuits, and Imperio. Their involvement underscores the importance of fostering entrepreneurial skills among young people, particularly in today’s evolving economic landscape.
