Woodhall Capital International Foundation’s Global Generations Rising in Purpose (GRIP) initiative has been launched in Lagos to empower Nigerian diaspora members and young professionals to support economic growth.
The launch was announced at the GRIP Diaspora Series meeting held in Lagos last Monday by the President of Woodhall Capital Group, Mrs. Mojisola Hunponu-Wusu. She said the GRIP initiative was created to give young professionals and diaspora Nigerians a platform to build skills, understand their value, and engage responsibly and profitably with Nigeria’s economy.
According to her, “GRIP is designed to replace uncertainty with clarity, hesitation with information, and distance with trust.” She stressed that credibility and discipline in governance and business remain critical to sustainable development.
Mrs. Hunponu-Wusu highlighted Woodhall Capital’s legitimacy, noting that the organisation operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and the Forum of State Investment Promotion Agencies of Nigeria. She said these partnerships strengthen confidence for diaspora engagement and long term investment.
She explained that the GRIP initiative aligns with Woodhall Capital’s social impact focus on feeding, good health and wellbeing, and education across Africa and the United Kingdom.
She urged members of the diaspora community to engage constructively with Nigeria’s economy.
