Adamawa State Governor, H.E Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has disbursed funds to micro-business owners in Adamawa State.
To spur growth, boost productivity, and enable the scaling-up of business ventures, 10,000 micro-business owners were handed the sum of ₦50,000 each.
The disbursement was made on Friday at the Ribadu Square through the Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation Agency (PAWECA) for easy access to those in need.
The Governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to alleviating poverty and empowering entrepreneurs in a competitive market, which influenced the decision to allocate these cash grants.
Also, he didn’t fail to acknowledge the difficulties faced by micro-business owners, ranging from limited access to capital to insufficient resources and infrastructure.
He therefore called on all stakeholders, including government agencies, civil society organisations, and the private sector, to work closely in supporting micro-business owners in their quest for a successful life.
