SEA-Hubs have been introduced as co-curricular entrepreneurship clubs in secondary school, to provide practical entrepreneurship training to selected students and teachers from over 340 selected secondary schools in 66 LGAs across 11 states and the FCT. The SEA-Hub project aims to prepare and build our young minds to practically understand the basics of running a successful business, foster opportunity recognition, innovation, risk-taking, critical thinking, and employment creation. SEA-Hubs are presently inaugurated and active in about 340 Secondary Schools with over 30,500 students engaged across 11 States (Niger, Ogun, Plateau, Edo, Lagos, Yobe, Kaduna, Delta, Imo, Osun, Oyo) and the FCT.
