Trade Nigeria has revealed that their perfect ending for the
year will be the donation of 37 Million Naira to women trading in rural
markets.....
Hon. Buchi George who spoke
to newsmen in Abuja, Nigeria, recounted what life used to be for him in rural
area where some petty traders who trained their children through primary to
secondary school cannot brag about wares worth up to N5,000.
“The aim is to reach these women whose wares are not even worth
N5,000, yet their families survive from the little they make. Their impacts in
the economy might be overlooked, but if they are provided with extra capital, I
believe they will be able to do more than what they are doing at the moment”
“We have mapped out One
Million Naira each for every state in Nigeria, including FCT Abuja. Our staff
and some volunteers will take the trip to some rural markets, where they will
get us data of the people we need for the programme”
“This is something I am
very passionate about because I had a firsthand experience of it as a child and
while building international trade around the world, there is also need that we
support these women, because their success is the beginning of development in
our rural communities” he said.
Hon. Nwabueze Buchi
George also revealed that the process of data collection for the programme will
not be publicized as the staff and volunteers will visit the market in the
guise of buyers to prevent impostors from making the list.
Her Trade Supports Programme will be unveiled in December 2019,
according to the Trade Nigeria boss, whose organization is warming for Nigeria
– Korea Economic Forum scheduled for December 5 to 12, 2019 in Republic of
South Korea.
He further stated that after
the first edition which will be kicking off in South East, the project will
likely continue and they will maintain the same level of fairness in all the
states.
