Items earmarked for distribution to beneficiaries include tailoring machines, point-of-sale (POS) machines, grinding machines, tricycles, refrigerators, cash grants and other empowerment materials.
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has flagged off a women’s empowerment programme for the North-West zone as part of activities at the APC Women’s Mega Rally held in Gusau, Zamfara State.
Speaking at the event, the First Lady said the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was committed to improving the welfare of women across the North-West and the country at large.
She explained that the empowerment items were intended to support women engaged in different trades and businesses, boost their economic activities and improve the socio-economic well-being of their families.
Senator Tinubu appealed to women in the zone to support President Tinubu’s second-term ambition in the 2027 general election, saying their support would ensure continuity in the administration’s development programmes.
Also speaking, the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Abdulaziz Yari, and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, urged women across the zone to reciprocate the gesture by turning out en masse to vote for President Tinubu in 2027.
Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, commended the women for their large turnout to welcome the First Lady to the state.
He also urged the beneficiaries to make effective use of the empowerment items to improve their livelihoods and support their families.
Wives of governors from the North-West states attended the rally alongside their respective entourages.
Items earmarked for distribution to beneficiaries include tailoring machines, point-of-sale (POS) machines, grinding machines, tricycles, refrigerators, cash grants and other empowerment materials.
