NSUK’s Dr. Vincent Paul Celebrates Entrepreneurs on World Entrepreneurship Day

Dr. Vincent Paul of the Department of Entrepreneurship Studies at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), released a powerful message today, August 21, 2025, in celebration of World Entrepreneurship Day. His message recognised entrepreneurs as visionaries who create value and drive societal progress.

"Entrepreneurship is not merely about starting businesses," Dr. Paul stated, "it is about creating value, solving problems, and building legacies that outlive our existence."

He celebrated entrepreneurs who have transformed simple ideas—born from a sketch, a thought, or even scarcity—into enterprises that empower people and sustain societies. Dr. Paul emphasised that entrepreneurship is open to everyone, regardless of resources, and is defined by vision, courage, and persistence. He encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs, especially the youth, to believe that their ideas, no matter how small, have the potential to change the world.

The message highlighted how entrepreneurs have introduced radical transformations across various industries worldwide. Dr. Paul’s message cited a long list of global and African business leaders, including Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Aliko Dangote, Oprah Winfrey, and Sara Blakely, honouring their contributions to global economic development.

On behalf of his department, the Faculty of Administration, and the Vice-Chancellor of NSUK, Professor Sa’adatu Hassan Liman, Dr. Paul extended congratulations to all entrepreneurs for their sacrifices. He concluded his message by encouraging them to continue building a future where ideas, innovation, and sustainable development thrive.
