Ayo Fayose To Give 10,000 Ekiti Women N20,000 Free Cash On Int’l Women’s Day

10,000 women in Ekiti State are to get N20,000 each from the Ayodele Fayose administration at this year’s Women’s Day celebration.

Dr. Modupe Alade said beneficiaries would get the cash in the first phase of the administration’s Women Empowerment Programme.

Speaking on Tuesday on the state TV programme, Day Break Nigeria, Mrs. Alade stressed that “N200 million had been made available by the state government for the empowerment”.

The SSG said the 10,000 beneficiaries would get credit alert not later than Friday.

She added that the beneficiaries were selected from all sectors of the state without recourse to political affiliation.

Mrs. Alade said the era of relegating women to the background had gone.

She said no nation could advance without empowering the womenfolk.
