Nnamdi Felix Unachukwu, founder of Business Matters Incubators Catch Them Young Initiative (BMI-CTY), has commended the Federal Government for its significant allocation of approximately N3.5 trillion to the education sector. Speaking in Lagos as students returned to school, Unachukwu described the funding as a critical step toward revitalizing Nigeria’s education system. He expressed optimism that the new academic session would inspire hope and excitement among students and educators alike.

A major milestone for BMI-CTY came with the recent approval of its entrepreneurship education books by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC).

With a strong commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and excellence, Unachukwu pledged to continue supporting students, teachers, and the broader education community.
