Tinubu support group empowers 100,000 women
**Tinubu Support Group Empowers Over 100,000 Women in the North** In a bid to boost economic growth in the Northern region of Nigeria, the Tinubu Northern Women Support Group (TNWSG) has unveiled a comprehensive women empowerment programme aimed at 100,000 petty traders across the region. The initiative, which kicked off in Abuja, is designed to drive economic inclusion in the North and support the reelection campaign of President Bola Tinubu. According to the National Coordinator of the group, Hon. Aisha Aliyu Obalim, the programme is a key part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to bring about tangible grassroots impact in the region. By empowering women in petty trade, the group believes that it is investing in the economic backbone of the region, and enabling them to contribute more to the nation's growth. The selected beneficiaries, 100,000 in number, will receive financial grants to boost their petty trade significantly. This funding is structured to serve as a working capital boost, designed to be ploughed directly into their existing petty trade enterprises to grow inventory, expand market reach, and boost overall livelihood. This initiative is unique in that it is not about giving handouts for consumption, but rather providing capital for trade. The grant is intended to be a substantial boost to women in petty trade in the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This initiative is about sustainability and growth, aimed at unlocking the potential of these hardworking women, enabling them to scale their petty trading into significant commercial ventures in every part of the three geopolitical zones of the North East, Northwest and North Central. The success of this initiative will not only benefit the individual beneficiaries but also contribute to the growth of the nation's economy. With this programme, the TNWSG is demonstrating its commitment to empowering women in the North and supporting the growth of the nation's economy.
