#AgriBusiness Franklin Audu X ZTEA Awarded Start-up Grant

The BTA Foundation in partnership with The Spark Magazine set out to train and fund hundreds of entrepreneurs who have brilliant ideas with market potential. One such idea is Franklin Audu’s fruity tea product, ZTEA, made from Roselle (a species of Hibiscus) also popularly called Zobo in Hausa. The tea is 100% natural, without artificial flavours or preservatives.

Mr. Tosin Ashafa, handing over the cheque of a hundred thousand Naira to Franklin Audu, hailed his entrepreneurial drive and encouraged him never to give up in his business-building journey. “You have got a brilliant product and there is a huge market out there for you, so never give up on this idea.”

Mr Ashafa also assured Audu of his support in the areas of strategy and business development. “My doors are always open for you, just in case you need advice on strategy and business development. I’m here for you.”
