As the Renewed Hope Initiative of the federal government continues to impact lives, about 500 women in Abia State on Friday, received the sum of ₦50,000 to take their businesses to a new level under the Renewed Hope Initiative Women Economic Empowerment Programme.
The programme, launched in Abia State by the First Lady of Abia, Mrs. Priscilla Chidinma Otti, on behalf of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, was organised in partnership with the Tony Elumelu Foundation.
Southeastposts reports that the beneficiaries which comprised women traders and small-scale business owners, are expected to inject the funds into their businesses to drive growth, strengthen their families, and contribute to community development.
During the event, Mrs. Otti appreciated Senator Tinubu for what she described as a “visionary initiative” aimed at empowering women across the nation. She also commended the Tony Elumelu Foundation for partnering with the Federal Government to support women entrepreneurs in Abia.
“This programme is not just about supporting businesses; it is about securing the future of families, educating children, and uplifting entire communities,” Mrs. Otti said.
Southeastposts reports that the Renewed Hope Initiative has been launched in several states across the country, targeting women as a critical force in economic stability and nation building.
