Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of the Governor of Anambra State, has cautioned recipients of empowerment equipment distributed across the state against selling them off. Instead, she urged them to utilize the equipment for their businesses to lift themselves out of poverty. At the Anambra State Government House, Soludo addressed the beneficiaries before the distribution of items to 5,000 individuals from the state's 326 political wards.
She explained that the beneficiaries were carefully chosen to ensure they met the criteria of those needing assistance, aiming to help poor people escape poverty and support families. Soludo highlighted that the equipment is of high quality and designed to perform optimally for the businesses of the recipients. She strongly warned against selling the equipment, emphasizing that doing so would only perpetuate poverty.
She called for the recipients to use the equipment credibly and scale their businesses, promising to monitor their progress and provide support to those who excel and need further assistance. The empowerment materials included industrial sewing machines, makeup toolkits, deep freezers, livestock, grinding machines, grilling equipment, baking ovens, and various other items.
Soludo stressed that some well-to-do individuals were excluded from the list to ensure the program targeted those genuinely in need.
