An applicant who was not selected for the Jerry Eze Foundation Grant has expressed both disappointment for failing to qualify and appreciation for the lessons learnt.
Sunday Ishaku Togira took to his Facebook and instagram handles to share his views.
The Jerry Eze Foundation recently held a major ceremony in Abuja where N1 billion was distributed to 240 Nigerian entrepreneurs. Beneficiaries are said to have received $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.
The post:
Thank you, Pastor Jerry Uchechukwu Eze, for empowering 240 Nigerian youths with the sim of $3,000 each.
While many people focus mainly on acquiring personal assets, you have chosen to invest in the lives and future of young people. May God continue to bless, strengthen, and enlarge your impact.
I got to know about the application 2 days before the deadline, yet I made every possible effort to apply. Although my application was not selected, I am truly grateful for the experience and the valuable lessons I learned through the application process.
First, I learned the importance of proper bookkeeping and keeping accurate business records.
Second, I understood the value of having credible people who can confidently stand to testify to your character and business integrity when the need arises.
Special thanks to Pastor Olayiwola Akanni Paul and Christian Ogoke for standing as my referees at a crucial time. Your support means a lot to me.
Congratulations to all the beneficiaries! This opportunity will surely make a positive difference in many lives and businesses.
We sincerely hope that many other men of God and well-meaning individuals will emulate the impactful example being set by the Jerry Eze Foundation in empowering and supporting Nigerian youths.
