Treasure Okure’s journey from UNILAG law student to marketing PiggyVest

Treasure Okure believes money will always find her, but she didn’t always believe this. 

Born to Nigerian parents in Venezuela, she wanted to become a fashion designer and would spend time drawing and illustrating as a child. But when it was time to pursue that dream professionally, she realised it would cost her parents a fortune and as the first of three children, felt she had to make sacrifices.

Consequently, her parents decided she would return home to Nigeria in 2016 to continue her studies and take the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO) examinations in preparation for university.
