The Abuja Young Entrepreneurs Awards was initiated by the Fusion Lifestyle Limited in 2012 to reward the Young entrepreneurs who are coming up with ingenious business ideas and solutions and providing services which in the past could only be accessed outside the country or the state. These new generation of entrepreneurs are young, fresh and driven. They are those who are breaking out of the mold, thinking outside the box and coming up with ideas that are providing jobs, generating income and driving the economy at large.
