Items distributed includes tricycles, motorcycles, industrial sewing machine, barbing salon kits, fish processing equipment, grinding machines, sewing machines, nylon sealing machine, generators, refrigerators and start up cash for some petty businesses.

“The items distributed are not with my money, government provided them and I have to make sure that it gets to my people.

“All I need from the beneficiaries is to put into proper us the items received and see that they empower other people through their businesses. This is the aim of the project and I urge them to be prudent,” he said.
