Elumelu stated: \u201cThrough the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme, we seek to democratise luck. Hard work plays an important and undeniable part in success, but one must not discount the role of luck \u2013 someone being willing to take a chance on you or a business idea by empowering you through training, mentorship or funding. Our hope is that, through the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme, we would help the next business leader or captain of industry be who they are meant to be. This is our own way to give back and also to empower the generation coming behind us so that they can go even further than we have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/blog-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"187\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/blog-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg.webp\" data-link=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/blog-api\/?attachment_id=187\" class=\"wp-image-187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-2048x1366.webp 2048w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TEF-Selection-Annoucement-Event-Photo.jpg-1568x1046.webp 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a parent, one\u2019s desire is for your children to do better than you and so you will provide the resources and materials that they need to ensure that they go far in life.
