The lawmaker representing Somolu Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Ademorin Kuye, has held the fifth edition of his Hon. Kuye Grant & Stakeholders Townhall Meeting.
The event, which held at Old Somolu LG Secretariat, Somolu, had over 1000 residents going home with N20,000 each, done mainly by transfers; while some went home with freezers to enhance their businesses. Notably, Adaranijo Market, Pedro also got a grinding machine.
The sponsor, Hon. Kuye said the gesture was to further empower and improve the lot of the petty traders, who form the larger chunk of the nation’s economic strata.
“We believe that if we continue to support them, we will be promoting the economy because the small-scale business people constitute a larger percentage of the entire population of Nigeria; and by empowering and taking them out of poverty, we can help them take care of their family; send their children to school and get good accommodation for themselves”.
He enjoined the beneficiaries to use the grants judiciously while promising more in December.
