“We recognize that our platform helps to create lot of opportunities for people and Nigeria’s biggest problem today is unemployment. We have a huge youth population that must be fully engaged. 

And so, at Cars45 we simply created a programme that enable people without any prior education or experience with the automotive retail to be engaged and make something for themselves. 

This Automotive Entrepreneurship programme has been re-designed to equip people with the right technology as well as enable participants increase their income levels by leveraging our services,” he said.

In a keynote presentation at the launch event by Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Special Adviser to the President on the Ease of Doing Business and Secretary, Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), she commended the giant strides made by entrepreneurial ventures like Cars45 in deepening economic growth.

We are not unaware of the challenges that businesses face and we are doing everything within our power to set the economy on the right path.”
