Igniting Dreams. Empowering the Next Generation

Welcome to the Jarigbe NextGen Business Launchpad – an innovative initiative powered by Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe to transform lives and build sustainable businesses across Cross River North.

We believe in the power of youth to drive economic growth. That’s why we’re investing in training, mentorship, startup support, and funding to help young people like you turn ideas into reality.

This program is designed to train, equip, and launch young entrepreneurs and job creators across the district by providing them with practical skills, startup support, mentorship, and access to funding. It focuses on key sectors such as digital services, agriculture, fashion, trades, and small-scale manufacturing.

Through intensive training workshops, business clinics, startup kits, and follow-up support, the Launchpad aims to build a new generation of self-reliant, innovative, and economically empowered citizens, driving growth at the grassroots level and reducing youth unemployment across the region.
