The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has launched a transformative initiative under her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), empowering 500 women entrepreneurs in Benue State with business tools aimed at boosting their economic activities and improving their livelihoods. The programme, held at the industrial layout in Makurdi, was organized by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in collaboration with RHI, as part of a simultaneous empowerment exercise across the North Central Zone.
The event, which took place earlier today, provided the women with essential business tools and resources to enhance their entrepreneurial ventures. This initiative aligns with the SDGs and reflects a commitment to fostering economic growth and self-reliance among women in the region. The programme underscores the First Lady’s dedication to uplifting marginalized communities and supporting sustainable development.
Local leaders and participants hailed the initiative as a significant step toward gender equality and economic empowerment. The distribution of tools is expected to create a ripple effect, enabling these women to expand their businesses, create jobs, and contribute to the local economy. The event drew a large turnout, with community members expressing gratitude for the timely intervention.
As part of a broader empowerment strategy, this programme sets a precedent for future efforts in the North Central Zone. With the full story available in the comments section of the BENUE info-pedia post, residents are encouraged to stay informed about additional details and upcoming initiatives.
