My name is Jude Zachariya Ndak, CEO of Funom Global Investment Limited. Before now, I knew nothing about Business Management, Operations, Marketing, Human Resource and Financial Management. But after attending the business Growth and Empowerment Program organized by CYID and partly funded by the Embassy of Switzerland in Nigeria, I can say without a doubt that I am better equipped on how to run my business. My company was running into so many losses because of poor financial management that it affected the inflow of cash. But now, by implementing the Business Growth Training, I have seen a tremendous change in the operations of my company and I will recommend this training to every other business owners.
