A leadership coach, Godman Akinlabi has launched an enterprise development fund aimed at financially empowering faith-based entrepreneurs, driving innovation, and championing sustainable business practices.
With an initial endowment of N50 million personally funded by him, he said the initiative would provide grants to deserving businesses, laying the foundation for transformative impact to create a lasting societal impact.
Noting that the fund was designed to remain entirely non-profit now and, in the future, he stated that the fund represents the start of an ambitious journey to evolve into an annual programme dedicated to supporting high-potential enterprises with sustainable impact.
According to him, over time, it will welcome contributions from individuals, partners, and organisations united by a shared vision of building a more inclusive, prosperous, and impactful economy.
“This fund is the realisation of a long-held vision to raise leaders who will build profitable enterprises, transform industries, and inspire tangible change. I believe true leadership is not just about personal success but about creating platforms for others to thrive.”
This fund is that platform: a vehicle to empower courageous, faith-driven entrepreneurs to break barriers, innovate boldly, and redefine the future of business.
“This initiative goes beyond financial assistance by providing beneficiaries with mentorship and strategic guidance, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of business growth.
“By equipping individuals with resources, mentorship, and opportunities, we are not only creating economic prosperity but also fostering a legacy of leadership and positive impact that will reverberate across generations,” he said.
