Frequently Asked Questions And Answers

What is NTEI?

Naija Tailors Empowerment Initiative (NTEI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering aspiring and existing fashion entrepreneurs through vocational training, business development support, mentorship, digital resources, and industry partnerships. Our goal is to create sustainable livelihoods and strengthen Nigeria’s fashion ecosystem by equipping individuals with practical skills and business knowledge.

Many talented individuals in Nigeria lack access to quality vocational training, business education, industry exposure, and startup support.
