Former First Lady of Ogun State, Mrs Olufunso Amosun, has empowered 70 youths with free training in Artificial Intelligence and digital skills in Ile-Ife, Osun State. Another N5m was disbursed among traders, widows, and other vulnerable residents. The initiative also included medical check-ups and eye care for the elderly. Amosun, inspired by Queen Moremi Ajasoro, aimed to honor her legacy by positively affecting the lives of the people.
The training hub was established to bridge the digital skills gap and provide access to education for those who cannot afford it. The beneficiaries were advised to make practical use of the knowledge, turning into future employers rather than job seekers. An empowerment grant of N5m was distributed among 15 market associations in Oja Titu Market, with the money operating as revolving loans for business expansion.
The Ooni of Ife commended the initiative, emphasizing the importance of grassroots development in community advancement.
