Biz Summit: Foundation Trains 2,500 Youths In Onitsha

Ultimate Destiny Up lifters Foundation, (UDUF) in Onitsha  has trained about 2,500 youths in a Business Repositioning Summit.
The summit, which was held at All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha, Anambra State, titled, “Under 45 CEOs Business Summit”, is an initiative of UDUF, designed to cushion the effect of Covid-19 on businesses.
UDUF’s objectives includes engaging and empowering individuals and families, particularly young business owners, students entrepreneurs  and unemployed youths with resources to achieve their career goals.
Delivering his welcome address, the Founding President of UDUF, Dr Smart Ezuma, noted that many people start a business with the mind of making instant profit, only to be disappointed when their plans did not materialise.
He said such situation could be avoided by taking time to plan the necessary steps to achieve success, which includes “getting organised, keeping detailed records, analysing ones competition.
“Others includes being creative, staying focused, being ready to make sacrifices, providing quality service and being consistent, as well as being flexible and having good planning and organisational skill”, he said.
The Key note speaker of the Under-45 CEO’s Business Summit, with the theme, “Business repositioning for a new global economy”, and Director General (DG) Onitsha Business School, Prof. Olusegun Sogbasan, said “any business that focused only on making money without analysis and record  does not survive.
“Business is not buying and selling, done by traders. A business man is that person that is always available to deliberately make case for an identifiable need.
“So, any business that comes with profit without gain will not survive the test of time.
“If you cannot see the gain of a business, the profit of the business is not sustainable.
“So, a businessman should always be concerned with gains of the business, and businessmen should imbibe the spirit of direction, determination, distinction and discipline, if he must succeed”, the DG stated.
The programme also paraded other speakers/dignitaries like Deputy Director, NAFDAC, Mrs. C. N.N. Michael; Anambra State Coordinator, Standard Organisation of Nigeria, SON, Engr. Onopede Adeoye; Director SME, Department, Anambra State Ministry of Trade and Commerce; and Team leader, MIRSAL Micro Finance Bank, Mr Tochukwu Akunna.
