NESIF is an offshoot of the North East Intellectual Entrepreneurship Fellowship (NEIEF) with forty-five (45) young men and women from the North East Region of Nigeria and other parts of the country taken through an intellectual entrepreneurship process, exposing them to key ideas of liberal democracy, free markets, book club activities, policy making, institution building and activism, gender and social inclusion, critical thinking and using social media to share some of their learnings. North Eastern Nigeria has been going through a tough period because of the violence perpetrated by Boko Haram. The impact of their activities on the lives of the average citizen is drastic with millions displaced from their homes and living with the constant threat of death. The poor economic situation and low literacy levels makes the North East a fertile recruiting ground for violent extremist groups. There is need for the indigenes to address the social challenges that make this situation possible. In response to these challenges, we provided support for young people in the North East to co-create innovative solutions to clearly defined social problems the youths face and who have interest in tackling specific social challenges affecting the quality of lives in their communities.
The COVID-19 pandemic demanded a significant shift in how we lived, interacted and conducted business and thus placed enormous demands on businesses to adapt and innovate. The current corporate climate indicates that ‘business-as-usual’ practices will no longer be effective and cannot guarantee a smooth ride as they did before COVID-19. Consequently, there is a need for businesses to adjust and innovate to adapt to emerging trends – be it managing a work-from-home culture to ensuring the health and safety of its employees, partners and clients. Understanding and managing digital innovation supports businesses to discover and test new and better ways to meet the changing needs of stakeholders in a more cost-efficient way. While recognising that innovation is vital for sustainability, the reality is that companies struggle with knowing how to innovate. In response to this, we offered free consultation sessions to C-Level Executives who are responsible for driving innovation and strategy within their organisations to help position their businesses to innovate & be resilient in the face of the COVID-19.
