These young entrepreneurs will receive financial support of up to N6million for the first prize to develop their project. They will also receive personalized support and coaching from Passion Incubator and a communications campaign to publicize their project.

The winner of the Top Female Entrepreneur award, a new addition to the 2018-2019 Challenge to support women in business, is:
