The Project Director of Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference and Exhibition, Mr. Oki Samson, who discussed briefly on the programme said "the event is aimed at creating sustainable jobs and wealth distribution while highlighting the role of entrepreneurs in National economy development.
A report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) indicates that unemployment rose from 16.2 percent in the second quarter to 18.8 percent in the third quarter of 2017, then it goes beyond doubt that Nigeria is in a desperate situation which requires drastic action. Nigerians can no longer depend on the government or blue-chip companies to provide jobs for her teeming population of youths, she has to embrace investment in skills, entrepreneurship; SMEs, agriculture, innovation and ICT. Also inculcate the same into the youths of the nation which is a better option if we must diversify the national economy"

The project which is fast gaining traction among youths in Africa, has over seven hundred and twenty five registered guests. “Participants will be given Certificate of participation for the One-day enterprise conference and exhibition”, Oki added.
