Deadline: August 31, 2025

Applications are open for the Regis Ohia Foundation Entrepreneurship Grant 2025. At the Regis Ohia Foundation, they believe that great ideas should never be held back by a lack of resources. The Entrepreneurship Grant is designed to fuel the dreams of bold Nigerian entrepreneurs in Agribusiness, Healthcare, Education, and Recycling — those who are not only building businesses but creating solutions that make a lasting difference.

This grant is more than just money — it’s a platform to grow. Selected applicants will join the 4-week virtual Accelerator Program in September 2025, gain mentorship from seasoned business leaders, network with fellow entrepreneurs, and present their ideas at a live pitch event in Lekki, Lagos. Winners will also enjoy media spotlight opportunities to help their ventures gain visibility.
