As part of the comprehensive policy manifesto released by the campaign, a landmark Youth
Enterprise Fund has been proposed — committing to ₦500 million annually in grants and soft
loans for young entrepreneurs in Benue Zone A.
Who Qualifies?
The fund is designed for youth between 18–35 years in Benue Zone A who meet the following criteria:
- Registered business or viable business plan
- Resident in any of the Zone A LGAs
- Not currently in receipt of another federal youth enterprise grant
How It Would Work
The fund would be administered through a transparent committee including LGA representatives,
civil society, and the Senator's office, with quarterly public reporting on disbursements and
outcomes.
"Our youth are not a problem to be managed. They are a solution waiting to be
unlocked. This fund is the key."
