No fewer than 1,000 women in Kuje Area Council, FCT, benefited from an empowerment programme organised by the women wing of the City Boy Movement (CBM).
The group also reaffirmed support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu during the large-scale grassroots mobilisation programme.
The initiative was organised by the FCT chapter of the CBM women wing under the Office of the National Coordinator for Women Affairs.
The programme aimed to boost women’s economic activities, promote grassroots mobilisation and strengthen community participation in governance.
In a statement on Monday, the National Coordinator for Women Affairs, Hajiya Ummusalma Rabiu, described women empowerment as vital for national development and poverty reduction.
Rabiu said women remained key stakeholders in voter education, democratic participation, grassroots mobilisation and national development.
The FCT Women Affairs Coordinator, Dr Ene Adugba, said the programme supported vulnerable and enterprising women economically.
Adugba said the initiative also created awareness about the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
She said the administration had continued reforms and strategic interventions aimed at repositioning the nation’s economy in spite prevailing socio-economic challenges.
She said the administration had shown political will through reforms focused on economic stabilisation and infrastructure development.
The official also cited social intervention programmes, food security initiatives, youth and women empowerment and improved investment opportunities.
The group highlighted achievements including increased investments in transportation, expansion of student loan programmes and support for agriculture.
It also cited improved security coordination and policies targeted at job creation and enterprise development.
Beneficiaries received empowerment items and support packages to strengthen small businesses, improve household income and encourage self-reliance.
Adugba reaffirmed the commitment of the FCT women wing to mobilising support for Tinubu’s re-election.
She stressed the need for continuity in governance and sustained implementation of ongoing reforms across critical sectors.
According to the group, continuity would consolidate gains recorded in infrastructure, security, agriculture, education, youth development and economic revitalisation.
The organisation urged women, youths and other stakeholders to support initiatives promoting peace, unity, democratic participation and national development.
