The Christian Olatunji Charity Brand Foundation has introduced a new business grant programme to support small business owners across Nigeria. The programme will provide financial assistance to 50 micro and small enterprises, with each beneficiary receiving between ₦100,000 and ₦200,000.
The Foundation said the grant is aimed at helping small businesses manage daily operating costs, restock goods, purchase basic equipment, or improve their business stability during the current economic challenges.
Purpose of the Grant Programme
Small businesses play a major role in Nigeria’s economy, but many struggle due to limited access to funding. According to the Foundation, this grant is designed to provide practical support at the grassroots level, where even a small amount of capital can make a meaningful difference.
The grant is non-repayable and is intended to help business owners maintain operations, improve productivity, and support income generation.

The programme is open to small business owners operating in Nigeria. This includes traders, artisans, service providers, and other micro-entrepreneurs with active businesses.
