The Lead Pastor of Victory Life Bible Church International, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, has reaffirmed the church's commitment to empowering its members through entrepreneurship and business development initiatives. The programme aims to provide practical support to members with viable businesses and business ideas, helping them expand their businesses, achieve financial independence, and build sustainable livelihoods. According to Achudume, the initiative is designed to create a sustainable system where beneficiaries can grow their businesses and create opportunities for others.
The church recognises entrepreneurship as an important avenue for empowering individuals, creating employment opportunities, and improving the economic well-being of families. Achudume commended the Victory Life Bible Church Entrepreneurship Support and Development Committee for identifying and supporting deserving beneficiaries. He assured members that the church would continue to explore practical ways to help them transform their skills and business ideas into sustainable enterprises.
The Chairman of the ESDC and Chief Executive Officer of Pomegranate Nigeria Limited, Wole Elusakin, said the initiative had recorded encouraging results among previous beneficiaries. Some previous beneficiaries had successfully invested the support received into their businesses, while others had repaid their financial commitments and no longer required additional assistance. Elusakin expressed satisfaction with the progress made by previous beneficiaries.
Elusakin identified the new beneficiaries as Stephen Temitayo of Ojulowo Tailor, Adebisi Oluwakemi, Jeremiah Alade, and Mo Glow Bubbles. Millions of naira had already been approved for some of the newly presented beneficiaries, while additional funding would be considered after the review of relevant proposals. The initiative is not limited to financial support, as beneficiaries would also receive appropriate advisory assistance based on the proposals submitted.
Elusakin explained that the approach was intended to ensure that beneficiaries received both financial assistance and the guidance required to use the funds effectively and build sustainable businesses. The ESDC chairman encouraged members with viable business proposals to apply, assuring them that applications would be assessed based on their business prospects and potential impact.
The programme goes beyond providing financial assistance, as it is designed to create a sustainable system where beneficiaries can grow their businesses and create opportunities for others. Achudume and Elusakin expressed their commitment to empowering members through entrepreneurship initiatives, which have already shown promising results. The church's efforts aim to make a positive impact on the economic well-being of its members.
The Victory Life Bible Church Entrepreneurship Support and Development Committee will continue to support deserving beneficiaries, providing them with the necessary resources to grow their businesses. The church's commitment to entrepreneurship development is a testament to its dedication to empowering its members and promoting economic growth.
