For us at Fastizers Food and Confectionery Limited, enriching lives goes beyond just snacks but also ensuring that our customers, consumers and communities where we operate in live a better life. This is what prompted our maiden edition of the online contest themed ‘LOUD YOUR HUSTLE CHALLENGE’ aimed at providing a platform for SMEs to promote their local businesses, sell their brand image on our social media page and avail them an opportunity to win a N50,000 business grant.

There were a total of 30 participants from different industries – Fashion & Beauty, Sports, Art (photography, graphics/illusion design, cartoon animation & painting) & Content creation to mention a few. All entries were judged based on Video Clarity, Manner of Presentation, creativity of the hustle as well as participants intended future plans if they won the grant and Agure Miracle – a food blogger & influencer emerged as winner of the Contest.

Considering the fact that Fastizers Food and Confectionery started from a small home kitchen and began selling to its immediate community proves that any business built on passion, creativity and handwork can achieve just as much and so our aim of giving out the grant was to encourage hustlers that through passion, creativity and hard work, success can be achieved.

The challenge was our way of showing our supportive community that we appreciate their individual businesses and are interested in enriching lives through supporting the community towards prosperity.
