The Federal Government in a statement on Monday declared open the application for artisans, trainees and technicians to register for cash grants of #500,000 (Five hundred thousand naira).
The statement also outlined the eligibility requirements for applicants. To qualify for the grant, individuals must be Nigerian citizens between the ages of 18 and 40, residing within the country. They must also possess a minimum of a National Technical Certificate (NTC) or National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) certificate.
Applicants will be required to provide their personal information, educational qualifications, and a business plan detailing how they intend to utilize the grant. They will also need to undergo a selection process, which may involve interviews and verification of their qualifications.
The cash grants and startup tool kits aim to support and facilitate the growth of entrepreneurs in Nigeria’s vocational and technical sectors. By providing financial resources and necessary tools, the government seeks to empower individuals to establish or expand their businesses, ultimately contributing to economic growth and job creation.
This initiative aligns with the government’s commitment to reform technical and vocational learning institutions and promote self-reliance among citizens. With increased access to funds and resources, artisans, trainees, and technicians can foster their skills, enhance their businesses, and contribute to the development of the nation.
