Nigeria’s first lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu says women’s empowerment is a catalyst for household, community and national progress, as she supports Anambra women in strengthening their entrepreneurial spirit.
Oluremi who was represented by the Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, made the assertion at the Economic Empowerment programme for 1000 women under the Renewed Hope Initiative(RHI), held at the new Government House Awka, on Wednesday.
The empowerment programme is in conjunction with the Tony Elumelu Foundation and Anambra state Government.
Recall that the First Lady on Tuesday inaugurated the empowerment programme for 18,500 women nationwide at Minna, Niger State and it was domesticated in Anambra.
The programme was targeted at women traders and small-scale business owners, with each recipient receiving a grant of N50,000.
According to her, women empowerment is a catalyst for household, community and national progress.
“This seed fund is to support the entrepreneurial spirit of women, strengthen and recapitalise their businesses and small scale enterprises.
“When you empower a woman, you empower a household, a community and the future of the nation at large.
“I thank Gov. Chukwuma Soludo and his Wife for supporting RHI programmes in the state.
“The Initiative planned to empower 500 beneficiaries in Anambra but the state government supported with addition 500 beneficiaries,” she said.
The First Lady urged the women to use the funds to grow their businesses and improve their lives and families.
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Janet Asika, a hairstylist from Aguata Local Government Area, expressed her gratitude to the government for prioritising the welfare of grassroots women.
