An Alumnus of FUTMinna, Ambassador Nmar Ahmed donated the sum of 500 thousand naira to the Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Studies (EBS).
He made the donation on Wednesday, July 26, 2017 during the lecture series, which was part of activities marking the 2017 EBS Week, where he spoke on the topic: "Benefits of Being an Entrepreneur: My Success Story."
