Sen.Tinubu gifts N25m cash to 500 indigent women in Enugu.

Nigeria's first lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has presented a total cash gift of 25 million Naira to over 500 pre-selected indigent women from the rural communities drawn from across the 17 local government council area in Enugu state, in her avowed commitment to the welfare of the less privileged women across the 36 States in Nigeria as well as the Federal Capital Territory.

The event took place at the International Conference Centre Enugu on Thursday when she flagged off the Women Economic Empowerment Programme of the Renewed Hope Initiative, in conjunction with the Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Represented by the wife of the Enugu state governor, Mrs Nkechinyere Mbah, senator Tinubu said the economic empowerment programme was aimed at supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of the women traders and small-scale business owners who wake up each day determined to provide for their families, educate their children, and uplift their communities.

She commended the Tony Elumelu Foundation, who donated One Billion Naira to the Renewed Hope Initiative, to directly support 18,500 women across the Nation.
Some of the beneficiaries expressed joy and commended the first lady of Nigeria and her Enugu state counterpart for the gesture.
