Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of Streams of Joy International, has announced a new empowerment initiative designed to support young entrepreneurs across Nigeria, with a total of $300,000 earmarked for grants.

The programme, unveiled in a video message, will benefit 100 individuals operating in key sectors including agriculture, technology and manufacturing.

According to Pastor Eze, each successful applicant will receive a minimum of $3,000 to either scale an existing business or launch a new venture.

The cleric, who is also the convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), said the initiative would be managed by an independent organisation to guarantee transparency and fairness in both the selection process and the disbursement of funds.

Describing the announcement as a “teaser,” Pastor Eze noted that the grant scheme is an early glimpse into a broader empowerment agenda planned for the year.

“This is an early insight into a larger plan,” he said, adding that the vision behind the initiative extends beyond spiritual impact to tangible social and economic transformation.

He further stressed that the programme aligns with the Jerry Eze Foundation’s commitment to holistic empowerment, urging young Nigerians to take advantage of opportunities in business and innovation.

“The Jerry Eze Foundation caters for the total man. Keep watching this space as we bring you details of how this will happen,” he stated.

Through the initiative, Pastor Eze aims to nurture innovation, create opportunities for youth, and stimulate growth in critical sectors of the Nigerian economy by combining faith-driven leadership with practical investment.
