ABAKALIKI — Wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has distributed empowerment items to 500 indigent women in Ebonyi State to support them in starting new businesses or improving existing enterprises.

The items included deep freezers, gas cookers with ovens, power generators and industrial grinding machines.

Tinubu, who was represented by the wife of the Ebonyi State Governor, Mrs Mary-Maudline Uzoamaka Nwifuru, said the empowerment programme was being implemented simultaneously in the five states of the South-East.

She said the initiative was made possible through the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs.
