The Aliko Dangote Foundation, on Wednesday, commenced the disbursement of N130million to 13,000 women in Nasarawa state under its micro-grant scheme.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote, chairman of the foundation, while flagging-off the disbursement in Lafia, said the scheme was one of the components of the economic empowerment programme of the foundation.

He said the grant was aimed at providing the disadvantaged and vulnerable in the society with an unconditional N10, 000 cash transfer to boost their household income generation.
“This we believe will help the beneficiaries meet their livelihood needs,” he added.

He explained that the scheme, which was launched a few years back, was targeted at a minimum of 1,000 women in each of the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the country.

“It is estimated that we will spend about N10 billion on the scheme, some states with large population will get a little bit more than others,” he said.

Dangote said he started the foundation in 1993 with the belief that by supporting social and economic changes through strategic investment and interventions that improve the lives of the less privileged he would make a positive difference in the growth of the country’s economy.
He said the four major goals of the foundation are -health and nutrition, education, economic empowerment and disaster relief.

He said the foundation was partnering with Access bank to open bank accounts for the all the 13,000 beneficiaries in the state, so they can be issued with customised debit cards.
He said the essence was to introduce banking to the beneficiaries in their local communities.
According to him, the beneficiaries’ accounts have been credited with the grant and that the bank’s agents have been adequately trained and mobilised to provide the beneficiaries with the basic banking activities.

“The foundation and the Access bank team will be going to each of the 13 LGAs in the state to distribute the cards to the selected beneficiaries in order to be able to redeem their cash,” Dangote said.

Also speaking, Gov. Umaru Al-Makura thanked Dongote for the gesture describing it as strategic, considering the hardship currently pervading the society.

“The efforts of the foundation is in tandem with the Federal Government’s social investment programme aimed at providing succor to the aged, vulnerable groups and the poorest of the poor in the society,” he said. (NAN)

Complete cycle.

Good man

Kind gesture. But pls wait o, what business are they going to do with just 10k in this bihari era.

Just watch as oversabi ppl like the one above me would soon coman flood this thread , telling Dangote how to spend his money. They will be like: "if he gives 100k to 1,300 women, it would be more meaningful".
Pls stop hating, work hard, get rich and do with your money as you like.
Make Dangote sha carry the charity reach south o and I hope APC wouldn't include this as part of their achievement of paying stipends to the poor. Those devilish liars can take credit even for the rising of the Sun.

That's a good one from him.

Nice gesture.... but....come to think of it. why is it that this man is always focusing on the North alone?.... just thinking aloud

I see

Don't be deceived! Dangote don't use to share money! I repeat the CAPITALIST don't use to share money! Almakura will pay for every dime Dangote spend in his state As free!

God bless u man

I trust Access Bank... The money would become N8500 before it gets to the beneficiaries.
N1,100 for the card...
Then they'll bombarding them with text messages... The next thing... N4 for each sms would disappear as charges for SMS alert... On and on till the beneficiaries start scrambling for what's left in the account.

Na their staff I pity pass. The pressure they will mount on them this period - na dieeeeeeee... Then, year end, they'll declare N50 billion profit after tax after squeezing all they can from their customers... Only for the profits to be shared among their top executives that fly private jets and live in banana island.

My only concern na the extortion these women go face.
They've graduated from NYSC corps members to helpless rural women.
Hmmmmmm. Let me mind my business ooooo. I know some of them employees go soon quote me now dey defend their slave masters.

I can't be deceived. How and when were the beneficiaries selected? He did something similar in Niger state recently (according to news) why haven't we seen such in any Southern state

Oluwaseyi456:

we are satisfied with the tax and job. we don't want aid

In the spirit of giving, it is quite surprising that billionaires are more cheerful givers than most Chrsitians today.

Nice one
