Esther, who made this known in a statement issued to newsmen, said the interested participants would be trained on weight loss, skin care and so many other areas of aesthetics.
Emenike-Okorie said her thought was borne out of zealousness to see young girls in business, citing the instance of her 17-year-old son starting a business with only 150 pounds.
She said the participants would be given aesthetic kits in different chosen areas, calling for both government and individuals’ participation to make the project realistic.
Meanwhile, the practitioner said she would help the government maintain clinical standards within the aesthetics industry, stating that there is no regulation.
“So, i want to be able to get into the Nigerian space and partner with the government, corporate organisations, individuals to be able to give back by training nurses and individuals who want to go into aesthetics in a way that is going to be affordable and be able to provide start-up aesthetic kits for people within the area that they want.

“For instance, I can train them on weight loss, skin care, etc.
“To be very honest, I have always thought about doing something in Nigeria. For me, it is about empowering people. I love women in business because I am an entrepreneur. I love seeing young girls in business. My son started his business when he was only 17 and started with only 150 Pounds.
“I also want to help the government maintain clinical standards when it comes to aesthetics industry so that people can be safeguarded because there is no regulation in Nigeria regarding this industry.
“We want a body that can regulate the kind of things that people do so that the public do not have quacks treating them.” She said.
