Bimlack Jimon- CEO Delight Oil, Taraba State Sector: Agriculture,YouWIN! 1 Awardee









“Farming on a commercial scale was really a mirage for me, it was something I could only dream about.

One of the difficulties I faced was the lack of funds to make my dreams come true, however YouWIN! has changed my perspective of doing business as a result of the funding, monitoring and mentoring. I am now developing over 100 hectares of oil palm plantation and have installed a 20-ton vegetable oil processing plant with 18 permanent staff on the job. YouWIN! has really shaped my business as an agro-entrepreneur. Today I can say with certainty that the mirage and dreams I had before YouWiN! have now become reality. The YouWiN programme has helped me create employment, generate wealth and contribute to the GDP of this great country – Nigeria”.
