In a bid to transform lives and uplift the well-being of Ekiti indigents, Governor Biodun Oyebanji on Wednesday disbursed a staggering 20 million naira in cash and working equipment to no fewer than 48 beneficiaries.
The recipients, beaming with gratitude, received an array of items, including sewing machines, salon gadgets, and refrigerators, aiming to provide them with sustainable means of livelihood.
Mrs. Sola Abe, the Senior Special Assistant Governor’s office, emphasized that the empowerment initiative was designed to change the prevailing narratives and alleviate the struggles faced by Ekiti residents.
Dismissing political speculations, she clarified that the selection process was devoid of political undertones.
Mrs. Abe assured the public of a thorough inspection to ensure the beneficiaries effectively utilized the resources bestowed upon them.
Undeterred by speculation, Mrs. Abe reiterated the governor’s commitment to the initiative. She disclosed that the empowerment program would continue into the next year, with a comprehensive assessment planned to gauge its overall impact.
The governor is determined to ensure the program’s success and intends to hold beneficiaries accountable for the judicious use of the empowerment.
Mrs. Abe urged the beneficiaries to reciprocate the governor’s generosity by utilizing the empowerment judiciously.
Expressing joy and gratitude, some beneficiaries commended Governor Oyebanji for the program, promising to make the most of the money and equipment provided.
The monthly empowerment initiative tagged “Ojuse BAO… Ajose Wa Ni,” is part of the governor’s commitment to realizing a prosperous Ekiti, where no one is left behind.
This third tranche of the year, valued at 20 million naira, serves as a backlog of empowerment covering the months of June, July, August, and September. Encompassing various aspects such as school fees and financial assistance, the program aims to comprehensively address the diverse needs of Ekiti residents, contributing to the governor’s “prosperity for all” agenda.
