Project ESME is a public-private initiative in Enugu to facilitate the investment climate in Nigeria and create jobs and training opportunities for youth.

This first of its kind initiative includes the European Business Park - to provide security and quality infrastructure to European and Nigerian companies, the Centre for Practical Skills - to upscale and certify Nigerian workers based on European standards, and the Start-Up Centre – to support local entrepreneurship.

All three will be located on the second campus of Godfrey Okoye University in Enugu, one of our main partners.
