Launching operations in a new territory offers a dynamic reality that begs the need for a new role; one dedicated to ensuring the goal of business development is seamlessly achieved.

As part of our internal series, we focus on the annual Enyata Community initiative that is Project BuildUp.
In this episode, we talk to Precious Ezema (Community Manager, Enyata Inc.) about BuildUp 3.0 - Criteria, Timeline, Expectations, and Limitations.
Enyata's Project Buildup aims to equip 10,000 African techies with the resources to grow in the tech industry over the next five years. Every year, 50 talents are awarded MacBooks to help facilitate career growth. We are working towards a reality where talents are afforded the right tools to grow.
So far, we’ve been able to realize 2 editions - impacting 100 talents, each with a Macbook, awarding 50 of them with a 6-month subscription to PluralSight.At Enyata, we believe Nigeria, and Africa at large is the next technology hub of the world. With this understanding, we are willing to be a part of the story. That, alongside our continuous drive to create better opportunities for everyone, has led us to announce the 3rd edition of Enyata Build Up - another 50 Macbooks for 50 talents.
