Mrs. Atalor got N1million prize money from Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC), to boost her business.

The latest award is coming barely a month after she won a $5,000 merit category prize in the Shell LiveWIRE top 10 innovators competition.

The Shell LiveWire is a global contest aimed at rewarding shining cases of innovation in businesses supported by the programme.

Judges at the event assessed Mrs. Atalor’s presentation on how to light up all homes in Nigeria as the most convincing and realizable.

She was placed ahead of Ledee Basi and Ibiere Gilbert David respectively, who received N500, 000 as runners-up.

All three are startups from the LiveWIRE entrepreneurial programme for Niger Delta youths.

They all set up businesses that deliver energy solutions to customers in the Niger Delta and beyond.

While Basi’s Basiled Energy Ventures offers renewable energy, safety wears, and sensitisation services on the use of solar products, David’s Ibdav Resources firm provides bio-fuel clean cookstoves.

In addition to the cash prizes, the three entrepreneurs would also receive coaching support from Co-creation Hub, a leading innovation hub in Nigeria.
