Members of the Plateau Youth Council (PYC) Jos North Chapter have received entrepreneurship grants from the Dachung Musa Bagos Foundation, following a two-day intensive training aimed at equipping them with business management skills.

The grant presentation took place on 6th August 2025 at the Plateau State Microfinance Development Agency (PLASMIDA) hall, marking the climax of the training program facilitated by PLASMIDA as part of the foundation’s initiative to empower young people and nurture them into self-reliant leaders.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Executive Director of the foundation, represented by Programs Manager Mr. Alpha Dali, urged beneficiaries to see the support as an opportunity to grow their small and medium enterprises (SMEs). He encouraged them to apply the funds strategically to strengthen their businesses and contribute to community development.

Chairman of PYC Jos North appreciated the foundation for the gesture, describing it as a practical step toward youth empowerment. He urged the beneficiaries to demonstrate transparency and accountability in using the funds to attract more opportunities for young people in the future.

Some beneficiaries, in their remarks, expressed gratitude to the foundation for the empowerment, pledging to invest the funds in ways that would expand their ventures and create avenues for others to benefit.

The event drew a large turnout of youths from Jos North LGA, reflecting the interest and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship support in the community.
