Testimonials
The dream of good quality standard, affordable, and nutritionally balanced nutrients is becoming a reality. I give NOUN the credit, without them, I would not have been successful. I gained so much from the teachings and mentorship at the school. I encourage other students to be active in their course of study and most importantly participate fully in the entrepreneurship course – GST 302.

Student - South-West, Lagos, Incubatee
I appreciate the Directorate for Entrepreneurship and General Studies for encouraging us to become entrepreneurs and for providing conducive environment for production and research. The GST courses and the mentorship received have positively impacted my life especially towards developing and modernizing my business. Now my products are standardized and beautifully packaged. Thank you DE&GS for setting me towards the path of economic independence after graduation.

I want to gratefully appreciate the efforts of the Directorate for Entrepreneurship and General Studies especially on the rigorous training and encouragement received while undergoing the GST courses. These courses boosted my confidence and entrepreneurial skills and laid the foundation in me to become self-sufficient after graduation as well as enable me create sustainable jobs for others. I remain grateful to NOUN for this and many more achievements.

There is a proverb that says, “it takes a village to raise a child”. Tongues and Theatre Enterprise (TATE) is my child and I am grateful that the National Open University of Nigeria ( NOUN) is that village committed to its growth. I am grateful for members of that village- the Vice Chancellor: Prof. Olufemi Peters, the Director: Prof. Juliet Inegbedion, the Coordinator of the North Central Incubation Centre: Dr. Basil Ibebunjo and everyone on their teams. May this child grow and make its parents and the village proud. Amen

NOUN academic programme is very fantastic; NOUN has put smiles on my face as the institution has enabled me to realize my dream’. Otogor, a 400-level Accounting student, stated this on Monday, January 16, 2023, while receiving her award of one million naira (N1,000,000.00) for her creative product-based project at the Vice-Chancellor’s office, NOUN headquarters, Jabi Abuja. Otogor who designed the NOUN-customized laboratory coat said she was motivated by her passion for fashion design also to become an employer of labor after graduation

My course on Entrepreneurship Education taught me how to write business plan and helped awaken my creativity and I was able to develop one of my ideas which is knitting. Through the mentorship of the Directorate, I won a 1 million Naira grant from the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s Entrepreneurship programme which I used to establish my business.
