The Business Innovation and Talent Expression (BITE) 2.0 Competition is sponsored by the Oladele Fajemirokun Foundation (OFF) in collaboration with ESDC, UNILAG. It is an initiative geared towards promoting entrepreneurship and skills development activities among the youthful population thereby addressing unemployment and its associated vices. The Foundation commenced its partnership in this regard with UNILAG in September 2021, a partnership which has made a notable impact on students of the university.
