原文原文 / Original Text

The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has advocated for a conducive business environment for Nigerian women to ply their trade, saying the nation owes them an economy worthy of their labour.

He noted that women should be given more space for their ambition to flourish, unlike in the past when they carried heavy responsibilities with limited resources for their businesses.

Shettima stated this on Sunday when he flagged off the Community Investment Fund (CIF) disbursement for women’s empowerment and financial inclusion under the Nigeria for Women Programme Scale-Up (NFWP-SU) Project in Katsina.

He also inaugurated 32 compressed natural gas-powered buses and 200 electric-powered tricycles under the Katsina State Comprehensive Urban Renewal Programme, as well as several completed road projects undertaken to improve connectivity and urban mobility in the state.

The CIF fund disbursement, he said, answers a question that should trouble every government, as it borders on how much prosperity has been postponed by asking women to work miracles with too little capital.

Shettima said over 40,000 women in Katsina are eligible to receive business capital after fulfilling the prescribed eligibility conditions and demonstrating satisfactory performance in their savings and group activities.

Making a case for women empowerment, he said, “Our daughters should inherit their mothers’ determination without inheriting every obstacle their mothers endured.

“That is another reason to make this programme succeed. The girl who watches a business grow in her own household learns that skill can yield an income, and that ambition can survive contact with adversity.
