In a heartfelt gesture reaffirming his dedication to women and youth empowerment, Senator Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto South has donated ₦100,000 to each of 203 women entrepreneurs in Sokoto State. The generous initiative was unveiled during The YHK Vibrant Fair, a lively trade exhibition championed by women entrepreneurs at the K7 Mall in Sokoto.
The fair was a vibrant showcase of women-led small businesses, featuring locally produced fashion items, delicious food products, crafts, and beauty accessories. It highlighted the growing influence of women in Sokoto’s entrepreneurial landscape and their vital role in the region’s economic development.
Organized by Yasmin Hassan-Kangiwa, the event also recognized the legacy of empowerment policies introduced by the Sokoto State Government during Tambuwal’s tenure as governor. These initiatives aimed to cushion the economic blows of the COVID-19 pandemic and foster the growth of women-led enterprises.
“We owe our entrepreneurial success to your bold decision to empower us through that grant,” said Miss Kangiwa, reflecting on the impact of the government’s support. She emphasized that, despite the challenges, their businesses have continued to thrive.
Many beneficiaries expressed gratitude toward Tambuwal, describing his empowerment policies as transformative milestones that laid a strong foundation for their ventures. Their stories stand as testament to the positive ripple effects of inclusive economic initiatives.
In his address, Senator Tambuwal praised the resilience and ingenuity of the women entrepreneurs. “Your progress is a testament to the success of our past efforts,” he remarked. “I am proud of your determination and the strides you have made. Today, I am pleased to announce an additional ₦100,000 for each of the 203 entrepreneurs—an encouragement to keep growing and expanding your businesses.”
This latest support underscores Tambuwal’s unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive economy that uplifts women and youth, continuing his legacy as a champion of grassroots development. His advocacy for empowerment remains a cornerstone of his political journey, reflecting a deep belief in the transformative power of inclusive growth for Sokoto’s future.
