CORPORATE ANNOUNCEMENT: Tony Elumelu Foundation Postpones 2020 TEF Entrepreneurship Programme and TEF Forum until 2021
In response to
the current crisis resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, the
entrepreneurship-focused African philanthropy, the Tony Elumelu
Foundation, has announced the difficult decision to postpone the 6th
edition of its Entrepreneurship Programme and the TEF Forum until 2021.
Given the paramount importance of public health and safety, this sadly
is the only appropriate course of action.
In the meantime, the Tony Elumelu Foundation will provide free training
on TEFConnect while working with policymakers, governments, and
development finance institutions to catalyse additional support for
African entrepreneurs post coronavirus. TEFConnect will also host
critical information around the pandemic to safeguard the health and
safety of all Africans, as well as curate impact stories from African
entrepreneurs creating innovative solutions to tackle the coronavirus
outbreak.
Health and safety are our priority, and the Tony Elumelu Foundation
urges everyone to stay safe and observe the health precautions outlined
by the World Health Organisation (WHO), national governments and other
relevant health organisations.
