He flagged off the grant distribution during the 2025 International Women’s Day celebration, which was held over the weekend at the International Culture and Event Centre (The Dome) in Akure.

The event, “For All Women and Girls: Rights, Equality, and Employment,” highlighted the importance of gender equality, inclusiveness, and women’s empowerment in society.

During the event, Governor Aiyedatiwa reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to prioritising the welfare and development of women, particularly the less privileged.

He emphasised that economic empowerment is a key strategy for ensuring women’s success in business, leadership, and other areas of life.

The governor said, “Women’s economic empowerment is a top priority for this administration. We believe that when women are supported, families flourish, communities grow, and society progresses. That is why we are rolling out initiatives like this grant to provide women with the financial backing needed to expand their businesses and improve their economic status.

“Let me reiterate that our administration shall prioritise the welfare and development of women in the Sunshine State. We shall focus on the all-round development of women, particularly the less privileged, to give them the needed support to thrive in their various endeavours.

“As we progress, we will ensure that women are actively involved in decision-making at all levels. The empowerment of women is not just a goal; it is a necessity for a thriving society”, the Governor said.

Governor Aiyedatiwa also used the occasion to appreciate the role of women in the political and socio-economic development of the state, acknowledging their contributions in the November 16, 2024 Gubernatorial Election, which played a vital role in his victory.

“The new dawn we all crave is here, and I want to thank all women in Ondo State for their loyalty and commitment. We will continue to prioritise matters affecting women and the girl-child, ensuring they have opportunities to reach their full potential,’’ he said.

The event convener, Dr Seun Osamaye, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Women’s Affairs, described the governor’s initiatives as a significant step towards closing the gender gap in Ondo State.

Osamaye highlighted the state government’s ongoing efforts to provide women with the necessary tools to succeed, particularly in entrepreneurship and leadership.
