One of the standout projects is the “Betland Future Stars Initiative”, a nationwide program providing financial grants, training, and mentorship to young entrepreneurs in underserved areas. This initiative has enabled over 2,000 youths to launch their own businesses, creating a ripple effect of job creation and economic growth.

Ajegbile’s commitment to sports development is equally remarkable. Betland sponsors grassroots tournaments in football, basketball, and athletics, offering young athletes opportunities to showcase their talent on larger platforms. Many participants in these tournaments have gone on to secure scholarships and professional contracts, demonstrating the power of combining sports with community building.

Collaboration has been central to Ajegbile’s philanthropic strategy. Betland frequently partners with NGOs and government agencies to amplify its impact. Through a partnership with the EmpowerNG Initiative, Betland has distributed scholarships to underprivileged students, ensuring that education remains accessible despite economic challenges.
