The Federal Government has disbursed the sum of N58,000,000 at N20,000 each to 2,900 women in Benue to improve their living standards.
Mrs Sadiya Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, said this on Saturday in Makurdi during the inauguration of the grant for rural women project.
Farouq, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Bashir Alkali, said that a cash of N20,000 would also be disbursed to about 125,000 poor women across the 36 states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory.

“Our target in Benue is to disburse the grant to about 2,900 beneficiaries across all local government councils.
“The grant is expected to increase income and productive assets of target beneficiaries.
“It is our hope that the beneficiaries of this programme will make good use of the grant to generally contribute toward improving their living standards.
“This is by using the fund as a seed to boost their trade for greater income and not to see it as their own share of the so-called “national cake,” she said.
The minister commended the state government for the support, stressing that with her complementary effort, the target beneficiaries would be adequately covered within the next few days.
“I am optimistic that with the support and cooperation of Gov. Samuel Ortom and other stakeholders present here, we will remain on track to improving the livelihood of the ordinary Nigerians,” she said.
In his remark, Ortom commended the Federal Government for initiating the sundry programmes aimed at reducing poverty.
The governor who was represented by his wife, Dr Eunice Ortom, encouraged the women to use the money to invest in businesses to better their lots.
“Women are multipliers and I believe they will turn the N20,000 to millions. I urge you to make the state proud by making a success of the money given to you as grant”

#20,000 each is too little for one to invest with na.. but like they say half bread is better than none
When will nigerian govt be real?
Nice development but 20000 is too small..they can manage it
Nothing like that in Benue
We have not seen anything In Benue yet oooo
Nice one
Kudo’s to the Lord federal, for their generosity.
I doubt these
This is nice
Nice
It’s a good step by the government but giving them all of them money including the ones that have nothing doing is not really the best thing to do. Some may waste it on unreasonable things. The best would have been to create job opportunities for them so that they can generate income from it
Sadiyah is a scam. I didn’t believe her because this is how she used millions of Naira to feed school children during Covid-19 without any traces of children in school.Hmmmmm
