The stage is set for a remarkable event that promises to uplift the lives of market women in the Akoko North East/North West federal constituency.
In a bold move towards fostering economic growth and community prosperity, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the federal lawmaker representing the constituency has announced an Empowerment Program that will allocate a staggering 50 million naira to support local market women in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
Scheduled to take place on the 27th of July, 2023, at the prestigious Akamo Hotel Ugbe Akoko, the event is expected to draw a diverse gathering of political heavyweights, party leaders, influential community figures, and, most importantly, the people of the constituency whose lives stand to be positively impacted by this initiative.
At its core, the Empowerment Program seeks to provide significant financial assistance and resources to market women operating in the Akoko North East/North West federal constituency. By doing so, the lawmaker aims to create a thriving business environment that will ultimately contribute to the overall wealth and well-being of the local communities.
Speaking on the importance of this program, the federal lawmaker stated, “Market women are the backbone of our local economy. They work tirelessly to provide for their families and drive the growth of our communities. However, many of them face various challenges, particularly financial constraints, which can hinder their business growth. Through this Empowerment Program, we aim to bridge that gap and help them achieve their full potential.”
The 50 million naira allocation will be channeled towards empowering market women through financial grants, training programs, and access to essential resources. This multifaceted approach aims to equip the beneficiaries with the knowledge and financial means required to expand their businesses, access better markets, and overcome common hurdles that hinder growth.
The anticipated attendance of party leaders, community influencers, and constituents further underscores the collective commitment to the welfare and progress of the local population. By gathering under one roof, these stakeholders will demonstrate their unity in striving for a prosperous and vibrant community.
With this initiative, the federal lawmaker takes a step closer to realizing the vision of an economically empowered constituency, where market women thrive, businesses flourish, and community wealth becomes a reality. The impact of this initiative will undoubtedly be felt for years to come, making the 27th of July, 2023, a date etched in the memory of Akoko residents as a turning point in their journey towards a brighter and more prosperous future
