Fellow

A Distinction Reserved for Excellence, Integrity, and Enduring Contribution

There are stages in a professional’s journey that mark transition, and there are milestones that mark achievement. The Fellowship of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Vocational Studies Practitioners of Nigeria (AEVSPN) belongs firmly to the latter. It is not merely a title. It is a public recognition of merit, leadership, and long-standing service to the fields of entrepreneurship and vocational education.

To become a Fellow is to stand not only as a practitioner but as a steward of national development—someone who has not only excelled but who lifts others, shapes systems, and preserves standards. It is an honour earned by accomplishment and sustained by responsibility.
