Governor Babagana Zulum oversaw the allocation of N250 million to more than 25,000 widows and vulnerable women in the Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State. The funds were distributed through the Borno Renaissance Microfinance Bank.
The distribution occurred at four locations in Gwoza town, specifically at the Central Stadium, Mega Primary School, Government Secondary School, and Government Day Secondary School.
The governor said, “No fewer than 25,000 women benefited from today’s distribution exercise; each of them received N10,000 through the microfinance Bank; we have facilitated the opening of Bank accounts to them to drive financial inclusion.
”Gradually, we intend to cover all the 27 Local Government Areas and ensure that a sizable number of the population have bank accounts.”
