The source content here is quite thin, offering only a fragment of the full article. What we can confirm: a programme called STEP-X exists with the stated goal of shortening the path from university life to global trade for Nigerian students. The piece is written by Kabir Abdulsalam and published via Premium Times Nigeria.
The one concrete reference in the excerpt points to Forbes Africa's April 2020 list, which included Uzair Essack, a young South African entrepreneur, among its 30 honourees. How exactly that example connects to STEP-X's argument is not clear from the available text.
Because the source is incomplete, we cannot responsibly expand further without risking invented detail. Watch this space as the full story develops.
