However, ARM said it would make subsequent editions of the programme bigger and better, creating 25 alumni companies over a five-year period. The companies are charting a new market course and have become household names and unicorn companies in Nigeria.

“We want them to be the unicorns coming out of Nigeria, companies that are household names creating markets that don’t exist, and for that is what this really is,” Olushina said.

ARM is a leading Nigerian diversified and integrated asset management group firm established in 1994 that offers wealth creation solutions and opportunities through a unique blend of traditional assets management and alternative investment services.
