Nigeria has a large number of micro businesses that contribute to economic growth. Most of these micro businesses have taken a beating financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an attempt to provide financial support and to give them the confidence to grow, the Gbenga Aiyeremi Foundation (GAF) is giving NGN100,000 grant to selected micro business owners across Nigeria.
