Addressing the female beneficiaries in Kachia, Zock, who carried out the constituency empowerment program in collaboration with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution, said the gesture was aimed at empowering the women to start or uplift their businesses so that they can be financially independent.

He urged them to utilize the fund judiciously so that they could become financially independent and assist their respective households.

The lawmaker, while informing that he has appointed agents to monitor the beneficiaries and their businesses, said those who run successful businesses would be further empowered with an N1m grant after one year.

“We are here to empower the religious leaders in this month of Ramadan for the Muslims and also the season of Lent for the Christians. So I deemed it fit to show my support to the religious leaders and urged them to sacrifice their time and pray for the country so we can have peace

“For the widows, we are donating N24 million to empower about 500 women in the first phase so that they can start a small trade. Apart from the N24 million, there are other genuine business proposals in which some got N500,000 some got N300,000, others N100,000.

“With this grant, they can start up menial businesses and also help their children in school. We know that women are the foundation of the house and having a small business will help them go a long way. So we are trying to encourage women to stand up and learn how to do business so that we can have a business-minded generation,” he said.
