Mercy Ikeji
Mercy Ikeji was a recipient of N5million Shell Grofin Enterprise Development Fund.
Shell LiveWIRE assisted me to develop a viable business plan, while the start-up grant provided by the SPDC JV helped me to expand my business. Shell Grofin Enterprise Development Fund also provided a five-million naira loan on the strength of my business model. Today, I provide a range of professional interior design and cleaning services, and my business has grown from a one-woman enterprise to one with a staff strength of 13. I also run an NGO that supports the less privileged.
