Ugwudi Stephen Ulog idea for his breakthrough
Today he is the CEO CASPEM - Cassava Peel Meal product, Akwa Ibom
He believes that they are more to lifestock than what people think or see. Looking at the present high price of feed of poultry/livestock products.
Mr Ugwudi Stephen noticed that prices for foods were so high. Concurrently, he noticed rural farmers were wasting cassava peels, letting them rot on the ground. He wondered if he could bring the two together some way in order to reduce both prices and waste, he now came up with CASPEM.
CASPEM which mean Cassava Peel Meal product is a significantly less expensive alternative to regular feeds, with a goal to improve access to affordable livestock feed and ultimately reduce poverty and unemployment among small-holder farmers

The bootcamp program has allowed him to shape up his Value Proposition. Networking with everyone has also been crucial, giving him a chance to brainstorm on other possible opportunities for his product.
