City recently, rapper and business mogul, Sean Combs, aka P.Diddy was on
ground to speak with the participants on how to run their own
businesses and being self-made bosses.

the event, which was created by The Network for Teaching
Entrepreneurship (NFTE) – an organization that empowers teens through
entrepreneurship education, four finalists emerged. The finalists are,
Juny Nguyen, Jesus Fernandez, Dagim Girma and Toheeb Okenla.
