Students and staff of Yaba College of Technology have shared N1.8m in cash prizes after emerging winners in a business idea contest organised by the institution’s Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Centre.The contest, which formed part of the second Annual Lecture Series of the Centre, featured 32 proposals comprising 22 entries from students and 10 from staff.The programme, held at the Yusuf Grillo Auditorium of the college on Thursday, was organised under the theme, “Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Model Series 2: Real Estate Development Business in Nigeria.”Giving an insight into the assessment process, Dr Samson Oloketuyi said the proposals were evaluated based on innovation and creativity, feasibility and sustainability, market potential and scalability, business model, and clarity and quality of presentation.In the student category, Komolafe Joseph emerged first and received N250,000, complemented by an additional N250,000 donation from the Chairman of the lecture, Chief Tunde Fanimokun.Olaleye Femi emerged second with N200,000 and received an additional N200,000 donation from Fanimokun, while Raymond Egbuson placed third with N150,000, also matched by the chairman.The college also pledged to support the development of the winning business ideas through scholarships.In the staff category, Mr Babatunde Adesoji Atiba, Mr Abdulwakeel Oluwatobi Atóyèbí and Dr Adebola Karamah Shogbuyi emerged first and received a N250,000 cash prize.Mrs Aishatu Atóyèbí emerged second and received N200,000, while Dr Adebola Karamah Shogbuyi, Mr Babatunde Adesoji Atiba and Mr Abdulwakeel Oluwatobi Atóyèbí were also listed among the third-place recipients, with a N150,000 prize.Speaking at the event, the Rector of YABATECH, Dr Ibraheem Abdul, said the initiative reflected the college’s commitment to producing graduates who would not merely seek employment but become creators of value, employers of labour and developers of solutions to societal challenges.Abdul said YABATECH was strengthening the connection between education, industry and enterprise by exposing members of its community to practical entrepreneurship.He said the Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Centre, established through the generosity of Fanimokun in honour of his benefactor, the late Chief Iyanda Folawiyo, had provided a platform for students and staff to gain practical knowledge of entrepreneurship.The Rector said the Centre’s monthly Open Market Sales exposed the college community to the trading dimension of the Folawiyo business model, while the annual lecture series explored other sectors and dimensions of enterprise.He described the focus on sustainable real estate development as timely, noting that contemporary real estate development should extend beyond the construction of physical structures to include access to quality water, clean energy, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and the development of resilient communities.Earlier, the Director of the Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Centre, Dr Funmilayo Adeoye, said the Centre was established to expose members of the college community to practical entrepreneurship and different dimensions of the enterprise model associated with the Folawiyo legacy.Related News215 Niger Delta youths get grants after skills trainingFMBN taps diaspora remittances for N100m home financingPrecious Lost Money Selling Food.

We are not profit seekers as entrepreneurs; we are problem solvers,” she said.The chairman of the lecture, Fanimokun, said his decision to establish the Centre was inspired by his experience working with the late Chief Folawiyo.Fanimokun recalled that after voluntarily retiring from public service before the age of 40, he was invited by Folawiyo to participate in the management of his business empire despite having no direct entrepreneurial experience at the time.He said the seven years he spent working with the businessman exposed him to important lessons in entrepreneurship, wealth creation, business management and preparing the younger generation for the future.Fanimokun urged students to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Centre, advising them to start small, acquire knowledge, remain flexible and develop a clear vision, mission and strategy.Delivering the keynote lecture, Prof Timothy Nubi, a Professor of Estate Management and Valuation and an alumnus of the college, challenged young Nigerians to see opportunities in the country’s socio-economic challenges and develop enterprises around solutions to them.Nubi, whose lecture was titled “Sustainable Estate Development in Nigeria: Building Resilient Communities through Clean Water, Clean Energy and Innovation,” said real estate went beyond the ownership or development of physical structures.He said the sector had implications for public health, physical safety, family wealth, employment, transportation, energy, water supply and the wider economy.Nubi identified opportunities along the real estate value chain, including land acquisition and planning, construction, plumbing, electrical works, painting, landscaping, interior decoration, furnishing, facility management, cleaning, and the production and supply of building materials.He identified inadequate water supply, high energy costs, waste management, poor roads, housing shortages and food supply as areas where young Nigerians could build businesses while addressing pressing societal challenges.The professor also urged students to acquire practical and technical skills as artificial intelligence continued to reshape the world of work, citing plumbing, electrical installation, construction and other technical services as examples of skills capable of providing sustainable livelihoods.On urban development, Nubi advocated deliberate urban regeneration, saying communities regarded as slums could be transformed through effective planning, infrastructure development, entrepreneurship and collaboration between government and the private sector.He challenged the students to consider the legacy they wanted to leave after graduating from YABATECH and identify the company, project, innovation or solution for which they would be remembered.

In the staff category, Mr Babatunde Adesoji Atiba, Mr Abdulwakeel Oluwatobi Atóyèbí and Dr Adebola Karamah Shogbuyi emerged first and received a N250,000 cash prize.Mrs Aishatu Atóyèbí emerged second and received N200,000, while Dr Adebola Karamah Shogbuyi, Mr Babatunde Adesoji Atiba and Mr Abdulwakeel Oluwatobi Atóyèbí were also listed among the third-place recipients, with a N150,000 prize.Speaking at the event, the Rector of YABATECH, Dr Ibraheem Abdul, said the initiative reflected the college’s commitment to producing graduates who would not merely seek employment but become creators of value, employers of labour and developers of solutions to societal challenges.Abdul said YABATECH was strengthening the connection between education, industry and enterprise by exposing members of its community to practical entrepreneurship.He said the Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Centre, established through the generosity of Fanimokun in honour of his benefactor, the late Chief Iyanda Folawiyo, had provided a platform for students and staff to gain practical knowledge of entrepreneurship.The Rector said the Centre’s monthly Open Market Sales exposed the college community to the trading dimension of the Folawiyo business model, while the annual lecture series explored other sectors and dimensions of enterprise.He described the focus on sustainable real estate development as timely, noting that contemporary real estate development should extend beyond the construction of physical structures to include access to quality water, clean energy, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and the development of resilient communities.Earlier, the Director of the Folawiyo Entrepreneurship Centre, Dr Funmilayo Adeoye, said the Centre was established to expose members of the college community to practical entrepreneurship and different dimensions of the enterprise model associated with the Folawiyo legacy.Related News215 Niger Delta youths get grants after skills trainingFMBN taps diaspora remittances for N100m home financingPrecious Lost Money Selling Food.
