First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has pledged a grant of fifty million naira to support women in Ondo State.

The grant is to empower 200 women in the textile industry, aimed at enhancing entrepreneurship among women.

Senator Tinubu made this announcement in Akure while distributing professional healthcare kits to midwives in the South-West.

Appreciating the vital role women play in nation-building, she urged women to also care for their health and overall well-being emphasising on prevention of diseases that could lead to deaths.

In a remark, Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, expressed appreciation to the First Lady for her gesture, noting that her other intervention would significantly contribute to eradicating mother-to-child transmission of deadly diseases across the South-West.
