Nigerians have taken to social media to lambast Mrs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, the Minister for Women Affairs after she doled out 30 tricycles and sewing machines as part of her women empowerment scheme.
Ohanenye took to her X handle on Tuesday night, November 7, to announce that the tricycles and sewing machines will be released to women to empower them.
While speaking to newsmen, the Minister who was excited by her initiative said that this will reduce nagging in homes as women will be able to feed their husbands and children and also be able to save some money.
On her X handle, she wrote;
‘’In practical fulfilment of my earlier resolve to reduce the rate of unemployment and also to ensure sustainable empowerment of women is the Introduction of the Pink Riders Transport
Scheme and upgrade of our sewing factory.
Today, I received the first batch of branded Tricycles and industrial sewing machines.
The pilot scheme of these machines especially the Pink Riders will start from Abuja before we extend to other states.
This is an era of walking our talks because Nigeria must succeed.”
Reactions:
Oluwafemi @blessingofgo So sad, we don’t have competent people to run the affairs of this beautiful nation called Nigeria. How can you give keke Maruwa to woman as empowerment? Do you people think at all?
Odinaka I know you have the heart to help and empower people. The cloth making business is a very good initiative. As for the tricycle, the plan is commendable as well. Plan for a more encompassing initiative. Well done.
