Good People, if you have paid for Tekedia Mini-MBA and you are yet to receive your login, please have patience. My team is working; the number of registration is huge. But they are working on them one by one. Our members who paid before 10 am today must have received their logins.
Team is reading your emails and I am extending the early bird registration to Monday. So, all the accruable benefits stand.

We have digital payments which support self-registration but we understand that many members prefer bank transfer. No problems – this evening, everything will be sorted out. I have moved team members from our electronics business to assist.

As always, Nigeria and Africa always support whatever I put my hands on. I truly want to thank everyone. I do not take it for granted that an Aba businessman put a signpost in Ariaria telling his friends about this new school he is attending. We reached out to know the excitement.

Interestingly, he is coming mainly for the “Personal Finance and Wealth Management” session. Yes, he has made money and wants to understand how to manage it better the global way. Our Faculty for that has it cut out.

Registration continues here.
