The Dike Family Foundation proudly announces the commencement of the First Phase of the Agnes Nkonye Dike Memorial Revolving Interest-Free Business Loan Scheme.
The initiative aims to empower and support small-scale entrepreneurs, with a focus on the Onuaboh community in Ndokwa East LGA of Delta State, Nigeria.
During a press conference held at Asaba, Delta State, on Monday, March 25, 2024, Magdalene N. Dike, Esq., the Executive Board Secretary of the Foundation, revealed that two recipients from the Onuaboh community have been selected to receive the sum of N250,000 each to kickstart or bolster their businesses.
The Agnes Nkonye Dike Memorial Revolving Interest-Free Business Loan Scheme pays homage to the late Chief Agnes Nkonye Dike, affectionately known as Nnem Nkonye. Chief Agnes Nkonye Dike was a distinguished Pan-African businesswoman whose entrepreneurial ventures spanned across West Africa, with her headquarters located in the then Gold Coast, Ghana. Throughout her life, she championed the spirit of entrepreneurship, inspiring countless individuals along the way.
In honour of Chief Agnes Nkonye Dike’s legacy and commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, the Dike Family Foundation has established this revolving interest-free business loan scheme. Through this initiative, the Foundation aims to continue her legacy of empowering aspiring entrepreneurs and contributing to economic growth and development in Onuaboh, Ndokwa East LGA, and beyond.
The Foundation remains dedicated to supporting the dreams and aspirations of small-scale entrepreneurs, and the launch of the Agnes Nkonye Dike Memorial Revolving Interest-Free Business Loan Scheme marks an important milestone in achieving this mission.
