Commenting on the Women of Vision Mentorship Programme (tagged#WOVMP), Folake Coker said, “the importance of mentorship cannot be overemphasized; it is key to the growth of an individual. If only I had an older me, mentor the younger me in the early years of being an entrepreneur, I would have definitely made less mistakes”.
