Senior special assistant to the president on technical, vocational and entrepreneurship education (SSAP-TVEE) Madam Abiola Arogundade has provided a solar-powered kiosk made in Nigeria to a single mother and hairdresser, Mrs Tijani Amina Oluwatobiloba.

At an event held in Wuse Shopping Plaza, Arogundade also presented N500,000 to the beneficiary to enhance her business and livelihood.

A statement issued by Assistant Chief Information Officer Henry David highlighted Madam Arogundade’s dedication to empowering individuals with skills but limited resources.

“The support extended to Oluwatobiloba is part of a broader initiative that recently awarded N100 million to 120 participants of the UNLOCK Training Programme and distributed solar kiosks to 80 entrepreneurs,” the statement reads.

Arogundade emphasized that these actions align with the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to bolster technical, vocational, and entrepreneurship skills across Nigeria.

She commended the SSAP-TVEE for their commitment to empowering the underprivileged and expressed optimism about President Tinubu administration’s potential to bring positive change.
