First Lady Tinubu Grants N50,000 Each to 1,000 Kwara Women Traders
The wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has disbursed N50,000 grants to 1,000 women petty traders in Kwara State through her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
Speaking at the inauguration of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA)/RHI Community ICT Centre in Ilorin on Tuesday, Mrs. Tinubu explained that the N50 million grant was aimed at helping women reinvest in and expand their existing businesses.
During her visit, Senator Tinubu also commissioned the newly reconstructed Civil Service Clinic, named after the wife of the Kwara State Governor, Olufolake Abdulrazaq.
“Under the RHI Social Investment Programme, 250 elderly citizens were given a grant of N200,000 each on December 17, 2024, to celebrate the yuletide season,” Tinubu added.
The wife of the president also said RHI, under its education programme, collaborated with the Universal Basic Education Commission to build an Alternative High School for Girls in Kwara State.
“Also, under our RHI Agriculture Programme, women and young farmers will benefit from the N68.9 Million Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security Support grant.
“This grant has been made available to Kwara State, through the First Lady and RHI State Coordinator, who will be responsible for the implementation of the Women Agricultural Support Programme, Youth Agricultural Support Programme, Every Home a Garden and Young Farmers Club of the Renewed Hope Initiative,” he said.
Also speaking, the wife of the Kwara state governor, Olufolake Abdulrazaq, said that the ICT initiative would not only equip the women and youths with in-demand digital skills but also position them for the opportunities that abound in the global digital space.
“Today's commissioning speaks to the many engagements and partnerships of the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria towards ensuring that Nigerians are adequately supported in the pursuit of their goals and improving livelihoods of the most indigent to complement the efforts of Mr President, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government in this regard.
“While this milestone will continue to up the status of women, youths and other users of the facility, it is also creating pathways into making Nigeria a digitally empowered Nation as well as fostering a technology-enabled equitable future for all Nigerians,” Abdulrazaq said.
Abdulrazaq enjoined the host school, College of Education, Ilorin, and users alike to ensure the protection and security of the edifice and to take full advantage of the services the facility provides to develop themselves and promote positive causes.
