Pastor Poju Oyemade, the general overseer of the covenant space has announced a ₦150 million grant aimed at supporting existing startups and small businesses in Nigeria, as part of activities lined up for the upcoming Platform Nigeria event.
The initiative, which was unveiled ahead of the May 1 gathering, is positioned to provide financial support to entrepreneurs looking to scale their businesses and strengthen operations in a challenging economic climate.
According to details shared, the grant will be disbursed to qualified startups and small business owners attending the programme. The funding is expected to ease access to capital, which remains one of the biggest barriers facing entrepreneurs across Nigeria.
The Platform Nigeria, known for bringing together business leaders, policymakers, and innovators, continues to expand its impact by introducing direct financial support for participants.
With limited access to funding still a major challenge for many small businesses, initiatives like this provide a timely boost. The ₦150 million grant signals growing private-sector involvement in supporting entrepreneurship and economic development.
As Nigeria’s startup ecosystem continues to expand, programmes like The Platform are increasingly becoming important channels for funding, mentorship, and visibility.
