The Federal Government has launched the Green Money Project 2025; a bold initiative aimed at empowering Nigerians with skills, funding access, and opportunities for sustainable business growth. This initiative is not just about money, it’s about creating a greener future for Nigeria and opening up new paths for young entrepreneurs, farmers, and innovators, who want to build wealth while saving the planet.
What is the green money project?
The green money project is a Federal Government-backed empowerment programme designed to train, fund, and support Nigerians, particularly youths and small business owners in the eco-friendly and sustainable sectors. This programme is part of a larger movement towards environmental conservation, climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy adoption, and green entrepreneurship. Whether you’re in Urban Lagos or Rural Sokoto, this programme offers an opportunity to acquire relevant skills through professional training, gain certification that increases your credibility, access funding to scale your business, and receive mentorship and business support.
Why now? Understanding the urgent need for green entrepreneurship in Nigeria
Nigeria is facing unprecedented economic and environmental challenges. From rising unemployment to climate change-induced floods and droughts, the need for sustainable solutions is more urgent than ever. With over 33% youth unemployment, shrinking access to traditional jobs, and increasing environmental degradation, programmes like the green money project come as a timely intervention.
What makes it different from other empowerment schemes?
Unlike many short-term interventions, the green money project is designed for long-term impact. It focuses on:
1. Sustainable agriculture: Encouraging climate-smart farming and agro-innovation.
2. Clean energy: Supporting solar, biogas, and other renewable energy startups.
3. Waste-to-wealth ventures: Helping Nigerians build profitable businesses from recycling and waste management.
