The Nigeria for Women Programme Scale-Up hit up Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government, trying to get traditional leaders and market traders on board with their plan to help 105,000 women get their money right. Bolanle Fadairo rolled through to talk with the Onigboko of Orile-Igboko Igbesa and the Olodan of Oda about teaching financial skills and getting women hooked up with better business connections instead of just handing out cash one time.
The whole deal runs for five years and pushes women to form groups if they want access to the program. Fadairo said other areas already showed results with people making more money and expanding their businesses when communities actually bought into the system.
Both monarchs gave props to Governor Dapo Abiodun for backing the initiative and promised to rally community heads and market bosses to spread the word.
