No fewer than eight million Nigerians are set to benefit from the ‘Renewed Hope Empowerment Scheme’ across the political wards of the country.
Spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this during the ‘Citizens’ Engagement with the people of Enugu State’, on Thursday, in Enugu.
Onanuga said the President was determined to make, at least, eight million Nigerians wealthy through the empowerment programme. According to him, the empowerment programme that will come on board soon, will target 1,000 Nigerians in each political ward of the country.
“The programme is designed to address poverty at the ward level across the country. We have over 8,000 wards in the country. If you multiply 1000 beneficiaries in each ward, it will amount to eight million Nigerians. The programme will empower the targeted people with different types of entrepreneurship skills and opportunity to create wealth for themselves and their family.
“The programme will soon start and we are sure, it will go a long way to create wealth for the beneficiaries, with a value chain effect”, he stated.
The President’s spokesman appreciated the people of Enugu for coming out in large numbers to engage with the federal government team, and also solicited their continuous support, stressing that Tinubu is committed to empowering Nigerians and making the people happy.
