The institute gave the 150 women start-up funds of N47,000 each amounting to N7,050,000 which was paid into their various bank accounts.

The coordinator, Mr. Abu Ochefije Silas, in an empowerment programme in Nasarawa State, explained that with the current economic challenges in Nigeria, the notion of engendering greater entrepreneurial activity had become a prominent goal for many governments and individuals. 

“The relevance of economic development has been highlighted by many researchers and it is now well recognised that education and training opportunities play key roles in greater levels of success.

“The act of empowering someone, the granting of power, right or authority to perform various acts and duties is known as empowerment and our goal is to empower women in poultry farming and goat rearing in two local government areas in Nasarawa State which are Nasarawa Eggon and Barkin Abdullahi,” he said.
