The visit was part of JCI’s preparations for its upcoming Entrepreneur Summit scheduled for October 2025.

Fasua lauded JCI’s vision and pledged to support their efforts through The Hope Magazine, stating that all invited entrepreneurs would be promoted for a fee as advertorials in the publication.

According to him; “Your projects demonstrate a commitment to collaboration and improving societal standards. We are eager to partner with organisations like yours to drive positive change.”

He further emphasised the importance of synergy, adding, “The summit aligns perfectly with our magazine’s mission, to promote entrepreneurs, showcase talents, and highlight impactful projects that can benefit society.

“Nigeria is brimming with untapped talent, and your organisation provides a window of opportunity to harness these talents for societal growth.”

Revealing future plans for Owena Press Limited, Fasua announced the forthcoming launch of The Hope Magazine, a monthly publication aimed at spotlighting entrepreneurs and expanding the reach of The Hope newspaper.

“We aim to dominate the Southwest region, covering Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, and Lagos, before spreading our influence nationwide.

“Our publications will be distributed to stakeholders who can connect entrepreneurs to better opportunities,” he stated.

On behalf of Owena Press, Fasua assured JCI of generous publicity for their activities, promising significant media mileage to boost their initiatives.
