So
the question is do you have what it takes to be selected? Most Nigerians
are blessed with great ideas that require little startup capital to set them in
motion. There are so many tech startups everywhere too. If you find yourself
among these categories, then the BET programme is for you. The best thing about
the BET programme is that there is no age barrier and even if you do not emerge a top five, the training received as a member of the selected fifty
will be enough to set you in motion.

Uchechi Arinze, MD/CEO of Uchechi Arinze faction had these to say
after emerging one of the winners ” It was 9 months away
from the next BET and I was looking forward to participating in that one,
finally there was an open call for applications into the program and I realized
there was also a business training attached to the N3 Million prize money, this
got me more interested and motivated in applying into the program because I was
a creative person who knew only about fashion and little or nothing about
business” .
