In celebration of Pastor Godman Akinlabi’s 50th birthday, the Godman Akinlabi Enterprise Development Fund has been launched—a transformative initiative aimed at redefining entrepreneurship through leadership, innovation, and societal impact. This Fund is designed to uplift faith-based entrepreneurs who have the potential to influence industries and communities positively.
Why This Initiative Matters

Beyond financial support, this initiative fosters innovation, creates job opportunities, and integrates faith-based values into the core of national development.
