The Aliko Dangote Foundation is set to empower 106,000 women across four states in the north with N1.1 billion. Towards achieving this women empowerment scheme, ADF has already commenced the iden-tification of eligible beneficiaries, towards the implementation of the programme across these states.

The foundation will empower 23,000 women in Sokoto, 34,000 women in Katsina, 21,000 women in Kebbi and 28,000 women in Zamfara. The programme is a N10bn programme that targets 1million indigent and vulnerable women. It was launched in Kano State in 2011 and is being systematically rolled out nationwide to cover the 774 local government areas of the country. So far, 334,500 women and youths have benefitted from the programme across Kano, Jigawa, Kogi, Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Lagos, Nasarawa and Niger states. The Dangote Micro-grants is one of the empowerment programmes of Aliko Dangote Foundation.

It provides disadvantaged women, and from time to time disadva-ntaged youth, with a one-time N10,000.00 cash grant to boost their household income generation. This, according to ADF, will help reduce their vulnerability and meet their livelihood needs. As far as possible, participants also receive training tailored to bolster their income-generating activities which are critical for the welfare of millions of Nigerians.

Giving back to society is not bad because you have tap their resources without paying appropriate royalties.

Dangote to empower 106,000 women with N1.1b, this is equivalent to N10,500 per woman. Not to sound ungrateful, we're thankful.

Meanwhile our senators to use N5.5b to buy SUVs for only 109 senators, which is equivalent to more than N50m per senator, just for cars oh!


Has Nigeria not failed enough?

Maybe you are the one that should go back to school. He said “resources”. Where did you see “reasources” ?

Good one from Dangote.

ADF should try to reduce the beneficiaries if truly they want to help them. #10,000 is too small and won't do anything in this present Nigeria. Why not reduce the beneficiaries and make the grant at least #100k? That will go a long way in stabilizing theirbusinesses.

What is the essence of giving out billions of Naira as grant that will end up making them poorer. Let's be realistic, #10k is nothing in this present country.

However, good luck to all beneficiaries and a big thank you to the Dangote for the gesture

So bobrisky is about to be empowered

I wish ADF could add one more zero to the figure (100000),but that way the fund would make serious impact just that then racket fit enter the whole process. Thanks to Alhaji anyway, unfortunately we are still eradicating poverty when other economy are perfecting drive less cars.

Ok

Obviously to the north. That's why he never bring back other Nigerians from south Africa bc deep down ,he knows they are not northerner and also not his religion. Ahap. Are u jus knowing? Core northern support northern. From my myopic view
