Excitement as Mitsubishi ‘Drive Your Ambition 2 with Under 40 CEOs begins

Mitsubishi Motors and Under 40 CEOs have announced the launch of the second season of ‘Drive Your Ambition’ programme

Under 40 CEOs is a platform with a mission to inspire and motivate millions of would-be young business leaders across Africa, created in collaboration with Massilia Motors, the sole distributor of Mitsubishi Motors in Nigeria.

The launch the second edition of the Mitsubishi Drive Your Ambition show which commenced on Wednesday, September 14, 2022 has elicited some excitement among young people including entrepreneurs.

The first phase of this edition, according to the organisers, will feature six episodes on Youtube in which six members of the Under 40 CEOS network drive experienced leaders across a wide range of industries, obtaining invaluable insights on topics related to reshaping the social, economic, and political landscape for a better tomorrow.

This edition also introduces the “Meet Your Mentor” Competition, in which six fortunate winners who are aspiring or experienced business owners can take advantage of a complimentary mentoring session with a member of the Under40 CEOs network and receive a financial contribution from Massilia Motors of N200,000.

Commenting on the second edition of the Drive Your Ambition campaign, Funmi Abiola, Head of Marketing and Communications at Massilia Motors, said, “Nigerian youths are indigenous and creative, and sometimes all they need is a little encouragement in the form of mentoring along with some financial support. We are excited to go further this season, from inspiring them through the stories of established leaders to creating an impact in the lives of the 6 lucky winners by supporting them financially to pursue their ambition.

“Connecting young entrepreneurs to a vast network of business leaders ensure that these young leaders gain the necessary and pragmatic experience and invaluable insights needed to perform in any role. As a continent with the fastest growing population of youths, it is high time that qualified youths are drafted into several leadership positions in presidencies and state governments, parliaments, corporate boardrooms, as well as civil society and faith-based organisations to assist in conceptualising and driving critical development initiatives, “commented Familusi A. Babajide, Executive Director, Under 40 CEOs.”

The organisers said since its launch in 2015, the Under 40 CEOs network has placed a beaming spotlight on several inspiring young business leaders aged 40 and under from various African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, and even South Africa.

They added that the show had featured various transformational leaders such as Audi Maikori of Chocolate City Group; Noble Igwe of 360 Group; Bola Ray of EIB Networks and has further brought to the limelight several other inspiring leaders such as Shukri Toefy of Fort and Ade Adegoke of Oando Foundation, Abiola Adekoya of RMB Stockbrokers and a host of other prominent business leaders.
