Ekechi, a former commissioner for Information in Imo state, presented the grants to the women’s wing of Imerienwe Peoples Assembly (IPA) at his Umuoye country home in the Ngor-Okpala local government area over the weekend. This act was part of fulfilling his commitment made during the 2023 home and abroad women August meeting to assist 28 women with N100,000 each.

“The money is a gift to help you improve your businesses and your families.
