Winning Wednesday with Nassima Hofra
It’s Winning Wednesday again and this week, we caught up with Tony Elumelu Entrepreneur, Nassima Hofra from Algeria. Nassima is the CEO of Tepropack, a company that manufactures plastic packaging, designed for household detergents and auto maintenance products. Nassima, just like her fellow Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs, attended the Bootcamp in 2015 where she made key connections for her business and is still practising all she learnt during the intense 12 weeks of training.
