Renowned Nigerian pastor and philanthropist, Pastor Jerry Eze, has announced a major empowerment initiative aimed at supporting young innovators and entrepreneurs across key economic sectors.
In a video shared with the public, Pastor Eze revealed that the Jerry Eze Foundation will roll out an empowerment grant totaling approximately $300,000, designed to benefit 100 young people with promising ideas and ventures in agriculture, technology, and manufacturing.
According to him, each selected beneficiary will receive at least $3,000 to either scale existing businesses or pioneer new enterprises within the targeted sectors. The initiative, he said, is part of the Foundation’s broader mission to “cater for the total man” by providing practical support that drives economic growth and personal development.
To ensure transparency and credibility, Pastor Eze disclosed that the entire selection and disbursement process will be managed by a reputable international consulting firm, which will oversee applications, evaluations, and final approvals.
Describing the announcement as a “teaser,” he urged young people to stay tuned for detailed guidelines on how to participate in the program. He expressed confidence that the initiative will play a meaningful role in transforming lives and empowering the next generation of leaders and innovators.
“This is just us playing a part in the big things God wants to do for people this year,” Pastor Eze said, reaffirming the Foundation’s commitment to impactful and transparent philanthropy.
Further details on the application process and eligibility criteria are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
