Musician Praiz Adejo has been unveiled as one of Big Church Foundation’s ambassador­s. This took place recently in Ikoyi, Lagos, where the fast growing nongovernm­ental charity foundation signed the artist for its 2017 project year. Addressing the board members of Lagos office, the Chairman, Dr. Olakunle Churchill said they needed a new Ambassador for the Big Church Foundation to spearhead the Agricultur­e and Mining project targeted at the Nigerian youths. He described the choice of Praiz as a worthy one because she has worked with the foundation during charity campaigns in the past.

Praiz is to pilot the empowermen­t of 36,000 youths in Nigeria. 1,000 youths from each

state are to be empowered through talent hunts, skill acquisitio­n, loans, small business starts and job creation.

Signed since 2015, with Television Personalit­y Amb. Rachel Bakam signed in 2016 for Media and Charity Awareness Campaign, they are now joined by Praiz who heads the Project Empowermen­t Portfolio.
