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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
