With an apt piece of advice from her dad, she travelled to several places around the world to learn the ropes in entrepreneurship.

During her deep search for knowledge, she met billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, who taught her the importance of selling products that satisfy daily needs.

After realizing that only farmers in the value-chain sector are ready for the future, she launched a company called Ella’s FoodBank in 2019.

Presently, her company is constructing a process plant to package farm produce in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
