Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as the music mogul and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has once again proven that his heart for youth empowerment is as big as his influence in the music industry. In a move that has drawn widespread praise, the renowned philanthropist has reportedly pledged N20 million to support an ambitious youth initiative.
The goal? To place essential tools of the future—laptops—into the hands of 10,000 aspiring young Nigerians.
The Tech Access Project: A Dream Born Online
The substantial donation is directed towards "The Tech Access Project," an initiative conceived and championed by a young Nigerian, Ayilola Ayotomiwa, right on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
Ayotomiwa's vision was simple yet profoundly powerful: to empower a staggering 10,000 youths with 10,000 laptops. The project specifically targets young people who are passionate about:
Technology & Digital Entrepreneurship
Design
Music Production
In today's digital economy, access to a personal computer is not a luxury—it's a necessity. This project aims to break down the financial barriers preventing talented young Nigerians from acquiring the fundamental tools needed to learn, create, and earn from their skills.
Jazzy's Signature Generosity
Upon seeing the scale of the "Tech Access Project" and recognizing its potential impact, Don Jazzy stepped forward with his characteristic blend of humility and massive generosity.
While acknowledging the monumental task of providing 10,000 laptops, the music executive reportedly responded to the call by saying, "Bro I hail o. Your initiative is commendable. But sir 10000 laptops is not beans. At this time I can only afford to support with 20 million Naira and a repost. Hopefully some other well meaning Nigerians can help achieve the go
This pledge is a classic Don Jazzy move: high-impact philanthropy delivered without fanfare. It reflects his consistent belief that Nigerian youth possess immense talent and only require the necessary resources and skills to thrive. He has often emphasized investing in skills and empowering others over purely material displays of wealth.
The Catalyst for the Future
Don Jazzy's N20 million commitment serves as more than just a donation; it's a powerful catalyst. By giving a massive financial injection and amplifying the message to his vast following, he is challenging other well-meaning Nigerians, corporate bodies, and public figures to step up and help bridge the gap.
The success of "The Tech Access Project" will mean thousands of young dreamers will transition from consuming content to creating it, driving innovation, and becoming active participants in the global digital economy.
This is a beautiful reminder that when influential figures put their resources behind genuine grassroots initiatives, the future of the nation benefits immensely.
