Senator Oluremi Tinubu Supports 1,000 Women Traders in Rivers State
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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
