The Adamawa Government says that it has committed more than N15 billion to women empowerment towards viable economic activities.
Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri disclosed this on Wednesday in Yola, at a special broadcast to mark the first year anniversary of his second tenure in office. Fintiri said that the state achieved this working with the World Bank.
The governor also announced that he had since directed that 10,000 beneficiaries be selected and given N50, 000 each under the Fintiri Business Wallet Scheme every quarter.
He said that he has constituted a committee on Food Security in the state; the committee has submitted a report that is already receiving favourable attention. He also commenced plans to prepare, in phases, 300 hectares of land in every local government area and make it available for cultivation by our youths.
Fintiri further reaffirmed his commitment to conduct elections into the local government councils in July 2024.
