The Jerry Eze Foundation recently held a major ceremony in Abuja where N1 billion was distributed to 240 Nigerian entrepreneurs. Beneficiaries reportedly received, allegedly, $3,000 to boost their small businesses across different sectors.
In his Facebook post, Togira thanked Pastor Jerry Eze for investing in the lives of young people rather than focusing on personal assets. He explained that he applied just two days before the deadline but did not make the final list.
He noted that the process taught him the importance of proper bookkeeping and having credible referees for his business. He also congratulated those who emerged as beneficiaries of the multi-million naira empowerment scheme.
Sunday Ishaku Togira said:
“Although my application was not selected, I am truly grateful for the experience and the valuable lessons I learned through the application process. I learned the importance of proper bookkeeping and keeping accurate business records.”
