The Chairman of the Senate Services Committee, Sen. Karimi Sunday, has empowered women cooperative groups in the Kogi-West Senatorial District with N100 million.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The funding is to assist them to kick-start and expand their small-scale businesses amidst the current hardship being faced by Nigerians.<\/p>\n
Sen. Sunday said on Friday that up to 50 women cooperative groups had benefited from the gesture this week.<\/p>\n
He explained that the empowerment gesture was a fulfillment of a promise he made to women in the district a couple of weeks back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a fulfillment of a promise. It will go a long way to cushion the effects of the current economic challenges that the people face, as the government makes efforts to improve the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is to support their small businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore groups and associations will also be empowered as time progresses \u201c, the lawmaker stated.<\/p>\n
He also spoke on how a training programme was earlier organised for women in the three federal constituencies in the senatorial district to teach them about viable small-scale investments they could explore.<\/p>\n
\u201cA training programme was recently conducted for the women in each of the three federal constituencies in my district.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week, a sum of N100m naira has been paid to the cooperative group accounts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sen. Sunday, who was represented by his wife, Stellamari, during the exercise, advised the women to judiciously utilise the funds for profit and beat the temptation of spending it as \u201cfree money.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chairman of the Senate Services Committee, Sen.
