Mrs Maryann Philip-Shaiibu, wife of the Edo State Deputy Governor, on Thursday, distributed empowerment items to women and youth in Edo North under the Women on the Move Initiative..

The distributed items included: sewing machines, kitchen ovens, grinding machines, equator dryers, generators, payment of school fees and many others including cash gifts

Comrade Mrs Maryann said the aim was to help the beneficiaries to be employers of labour and enable the State grow economically, while improving the quality of lives of the people.

She appealed to the beneficiaries to ensure the judicious use of the items given to them.

Comrade Mrs Maryann Philip-Shaiibu had since over the years provided scholarships to the less privileged, as well as skills acquisition training and distribution of empowerment kits through her initiative, "women on the Move".

In their separate remarks, some of the beneficiaries, Peter Johnson and Abbas Taofeeq who spoke on behalf of others, expresses their joy and appreciation to Deputy governor's wife and her husband for the gesture, while urging the beneficiaries to ensure they made good use of the items.
