The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, GSS group of companies, Architect Chukwudi Ezenwa, says the entertainment industry in Nigeria, has suffered a great blow from the coronavirus pandemic as social events were brought to a halt.
He called on government and wealthy individuals in the country to lend support to the industry players and other young entrepreneurs to cushion the effect.
Architect Ezenwa stated this while presenting N2.7 million naira in support of young entrepreneurs in Anambra State to mark his birthday anniversary at the GSS group’s office in Awka, Anambra State capital.
He explained to the beneficiaries, that 2 million naira was earmarked to support 20 young entrepreneurs while a cash palliative of 20,000 naira was disbursed to 35 entertainers in Awka.
Architect Ezenwa disclosed that over 3000 persons applied for the grant on his social media handles where it was announced, noting that the applications were critically scrutinized by to ensure transparency in the process.
He pointed out that they did not just support the entertainers, but had a roundtable to discuss the future of Entertainment in Anambra State, and appealed to the beneficiaries not to relent or be deterred in their business growth but focus on actualising their vision and mission while alive.
He equally encouraged them to make good use of the grant in giving their businesses the needed boost.
