Osinbajo's Friends, Associates Announce Empowerment Programme In His Honor by madamgrace(op): 8:03pm On Mar 08, 2021
Over the years, friends and associates have come together to reflect upon the sterling qualities that define Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s personal and leadership style and have for his traditionally low-key birthday celebration chosen to support social impact causes that are close to his heart.

It will be recalled that as part of the events lined up for Prof Osinbajo’s birthday last year, 100 young entrepreneurs received business-defining grants of N1 million each that helped grow and advance their businesses, among other incubator support services from close friends and associates of ‘Prof’ as he is fondly called under the auspices of ‘The March 8th Initiative”.

These “Friends of Prof’ conceptualized ‘The March 8th Initiative” to inspire and promote communal, entrepreneurial and public-spirited endeavours within Nigeria in honour of his birthday.

In a statement, the Group which organizes the annual March 8th Initiative stated that for this year’s celebration, the Initiative is expanding its reach and scope with a view to imparting a broader spectrum of Nigerians.

First, the Annual Entrepreneurship Development Programme has been reorganized into four categories providing more opportunities for young Nigerians between 18 and 35 years old, giving one-off business grants, ranging from N100,000 to N1,000,000 to small businesses in Nigeria. The four categories cover varying stages of small business growth as follows: Big Idea Business Challenge, Business Support Challenge, Catalyst Support Challenge and the Bold Innovation Challenge.

Secondly, in addition to the Entrepreneurship Development Programme, the March 8th Initiative will recognize health workers nationwide who, in the face of a global pandemic, demonstrated exemplary courage, compassion, diligence, hard work and professionalism in carrying out their duties. Individuals are requested to nominate any health worker who has shown these qualities for a reward of N1 Million under a Health Grant Reward Category that acknowledges their invaluable service to our communities.

Additionally, the March 8th Initiative is undertaking a nationwide Ophthalmological intervention to provide succour in the form of surgeries and other therapeutic care for cataracts and other eye defects.

The Group stated that entries will open at 12.00 a.m on Monday, the 8th of March, 2021 and close at 11:59 p.m on Sunday, the 14th of March, 2021. All entries except those for “My Big Idea Business Challenge” must be submitted at www.march8th.ng

Nigerians have been consequently implored to visit the website to nominate the deserving health worker of their choice, as well as to apply for any of the grant categories that is applicable to them.

See this one... You can't even match this man's gateman just that he is in politics today you will spew every nonsense your poverty striking brain can produce.

Osinbaje is a fake pastor!
His friends and associates are scammers and fraudsters!
Anything that has Osinbaje's name attached to it is a fraud. Don't hope on it

The VP position in Nigeria is a docile one but tell me, which other Vice President has been as active as Osibanjo since independence not Atiku, not Ekwueme nor the non existent Sambo. Even Goodluck was more 'pussy' than Osibanjo as a VP

Prof osibande just gave 100k to 64 women to mark his birthday and to mark women day celebration via brekete radio on human right radio Abuja. That is highly commendable. May God bless president Osibande, may God bless Ordinary President Ahmad Isah of brekete radio and finally, may God bless Nigerians.
