Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has provided financial support to 1,000 women petty traders across Rivers State through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which she chairs. During a recent event at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Lady Valerie Siminalayi Fubara, the Rivers State Governor’s wife and RHI’s state coordinator, presented cheques of ₦50,000 each to the beneficiaries.
This initiative, known as the Economic Empowerment Programme Recapitalisation Grants, aims to enhance the livelihoods of petty traders and drive economic growth in the region, with a total of ₦1.850 billion allocated to support 37,000 women nationwide.
Lady Fubara emphasized the importance of empowering women economically, noting that their success contributes to family and community prosperity. She highlighted that the program prioritizes beneficiaries from rural areas and includes monitoring to prevent exploitation. Additionally, the event featured the donation of 10,000 exercise books to public schools in the state, showcasing RHI’s broader commitment to supporting education and local economies.
