SapioWorks, Don Jazzy partner to empower artisans in Nigeria, others
Sapioworks, an initiative that links artisans and clients, has collaborated with Nigerian music producer Michael Collins, also known as Don Jazzy of Marvin Records, to empower artists in Nigeria and other African countries.
The founder, Dr. Sonnia Agu, said in an interview with the newsmen in Abuja that the project would offer tangible benefits to artisans, offering them crucial financial support and empowerment.
“Sapioworks, an innovative platform, is driving transformation in Africa as it evolves into a vibrant entrepreneurial hub.
“This innovative initiative empowers artisans to become successful ‘Pyjamas CEOs,’ creating a positive impact on the continent’s economic development.
“At the core of Sapioworks is a belief in the exceptional potential of skilled artisans to bring their ideas to life,” he said.
According to him, Sapiowork is concerned with recognising the challenges artisans encounter in securing consistent work and the frustration for clients in finding reliable and talented craftsmen.
“Our goal is to revolutionize the connection and collaboration between artisans and clients, creating an environment where artisans are empowered and clients have easy access to top-quality craftsmanship.
“Collaborating with renowned Afrobeats Music Producer, Michael Collins Ajereh A.K.A Don Jazzy, the initiative received hundreds of thousands of applicants across the country,” Aguata said.
According to her, the SapioWorks web APP is now accessible gaining traction among African entrepreneurs.
She, however, added that “the mobile app is swiftly under construction and would be available for download in the coming days.”
Agu further explained that she was thrilled to witness the remarkable impact the platform is having on the entrepreneurial landscape in Africa.
She stressed that the vision was to unlock the potential of African entrepreneurs and provide a pathway for artisans to pursue their crafts by offering them the resources, mentorship, and support needed to turn their ideas into successful ventures.
“The result is a growing community of trailblazers who are not only redefining their industries but also contributing to the economic and social development of their communities and beyond.
“By equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools to develop their skills, build their networks, and access capital, we are paving the way for a new wave of leaders passionate about making a difference and bringing their bold ideas to life.
“Our commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration has led to the emergence of an inspiring cohort of Pyjamas CEOs.
“Through Sapioworks’ transformative programs and initiatives, these Pyjamas CEOs are embracing their roles as change catalysts, leveraging their diverse backgrounds and creating opportunities that transcend borders and barriers.
“As we continue on this journey, we remain dedicated to empowering the next generation of African entrepreneurs and amplifying their voices on the global stage,” she said.
