Founder of Streams of Joy International, Jerry Eze, has announced a new empowerment initiative designed to support young entrepreneurs across Nigeria.
The initiative, driven by the Jerry Eze Foundation, will disburse $300,000 in grant funding to 100 young Nigerians operating in key sectors such as agriculture, technology and manufacturing.
Speaking in a recorded address, the founder of Streams of Joy International and convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) said the programme is designed to provide practical financial support to youths seeking to grow sustainable ventures. He disclosed that beneficiaries will receive no less than $3,000 each, with funds available for both start-ups and existing businesses.
To guarantee credibility and public trust, Eze said the entire process (from application to disbursement ), will be handled by an independent body, removing direct involvement from his ministry.
He described the announcement as an early signal of wider interventions planned for the year, noting that the empowerment drive reflects a long-term vision to create measurable social and economic impact.
According to him, the foundation’s approach goes beyond charity, focusing instead on equipping young people with tools to create value and build lasting enterprises.
“The Jerry Eze Foundation caters for the total man. Keep watching this space as we bring you details of how this will happen” he said, urging young Nigerians to stay alert for further details on the application process.
The programme is expected to provide financial relief for young innovators while encouraging growth in critical sectors of the economy, reinforcing a blend of faith-inspired leadership and practical investment in youth development.
