Governor Umo Eno Empowers 400 Young Women with N300 Million Business Grants

By Bush Udombo

It was an evening of joy and empowerment for 400 young women in Akwa Ibom. They had been trained under the Ibom-LED Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme to start and grow their businesses.

To support them, Governor Umo Eno’s government gave each of them N750,000 as a business grant. In total, the government spent N300 million to help these women succeed in their businesses.

This is not just free money. It is a serious investment in young people who are ready to work hard and build a better future.

The women were trained in different skills, including fashion, farming, ICT, and small-scale manufacturing. Now, with this money, they can turn their ideas into real businesses.

Pastor Umo Eno knows that businesses create jobs and reduce poverty. As a businessman himself, he understands the importance of supporting small entrepreneurs.

By giving these grants, the government is helping women become financially independent. They will no longer depend on anyone to survive.

This empowerment will also benefit their families and communities. When women succeed in business, they help improve the lives of those around them.

The A.R.I.S.E Agenda of Governor Umo Eno is not just talk. It is real action, making life better for the people of Akwa Ibom.

The excitement during the grant presentation was overwhelming. Many of these women had struggled to get capital for their businesses.

Now, they have the opportunity to put their training to use and start something meaningful. This will boost the local economy and create more jobs.

The Ibom-LED Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme has proven to be a life-changing opportunity for young women who want to succeed in business.

Governor Umo Eno is not just leading; he is lifting people up and creating an economy where everyone has a chance to grow.

This is just the beginning. With more support like this, Akwa Ibom will continue to rise as a land of opportunities.
