MTN Foundation Launches ₦100 Million Grant for Women Entrepreneurs

MTN Foundation has opened applications for a five-week business training programme aimed at Nigerian women aged 18–35 who own and manage microbusinesses operating for no more than two years. This initiative is part of Phase 8 of its ICT and Business Skills Training Programme, which will train 3,000 participants.

The programme is backed by a ₦100 million equipment-grant fund, with the top 100 participants receiving grants worth up to ₦1 million each. However, admission to the training does not guarantee funding.

Eligible businesses must be located in the states of Rivers, Abia, Ogun, Kwara, Kano, or Gombe.
