- Equities rebound as market capitalisation gains N180.6bn
Recall that last year, the newspaper launched its membership portal, an initiative to connect journalists and journalism with the audience cyclically and interactively.
The membership platform enables consumers of news or members of this community to contribute to what journalists do and for journalists to use their professional skills in producing relevant media content for the community.
Starters Connect will be a weekly newsletter that curates success stories of business starters in Nigeria and documents case studies. The contents will also be available on the membership website. Over 300+ business starters have joined the platform to tell their stories.
Subscribe to the newsletter and membership here to access the contents.
“Major problems in Nigeria today are joblessness and unemployment. Entrepreneurship on a large or small scale has proven to address these problems. The purpose of Starters Connect is to find the “doers”—young and established business starters making millions of naira from businesses in Nigeria and abroad. Daily Trust connects these starters and profiles them—we ask them questions that our readers interested in innovation in business want answers to,” says Naziru Mikail Abubakar, Daily Trust Editor-in-Chief.
“Subscribers of the newsletter can learn and be inspired by young and established business starters in Nigeria—how they grew their business from little capital, their mistakes, and how they are impacting the Nigerian economy.”
Are you doing a full-time job and want to start a business on the side? Do you have an inspiring story to tell about your business? Or are you a business owner who wants to learn from other businesses like yours? Starters Connect is for you. Join the Daily Trust Membership today to gain immediate access to the content and connect with other business starters.
