The March 8th Initiative MSME Grants is organised to inspire and promote communal, entrepreneurial, and public-spirited endeavours within Nigeria in honour of the birthday of His Excellency, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON. Last year, 100 young entrepreneurs received business-defining grants that helped grow and advance enterprise.

 

MSME Grants for Health Workers

In addition, the March 8th Initiative recognises health workers nationwide who, in an extremely difficult time, continue to exhibit compassion, diligence, hard work, and professionalism in carrying out their duties. Individuals are requested to nominate any health worker who has shown these qualities under a Health Grant Reward Category that acknowledges their invaluable service to our communities.
