Rotary Club of Falomo in Lagos State has empowered no fewer than 20 women under the auspices of the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA) to boost their petty businesses.
President of the Rotary Club of Falomo, Mr Tolulope Ogundipe, with some beneficiaries of the club’s micro-credit scheme to Police Officers Wives Association members at the Police Barracks in Falomo-Ikoyi, Lagos State…recently
He said, “The saying that “police is our friend,” is correct, however, in the Rotary Club of Falomo, we have gone a step further to include the wives of policemen as our friends too. In line with this, last year, the management of the club met and decided to introduce a micro-credit lending scheme to support the businesses of police officers’ wives.
“Coincidentally, the month of October is marked as a month of economic empowerment and part of our way of celebrating that month is to empower these women. Phase one that we did last year revealed to us that we have Nigerians who are still sincere, who understand that money lent to them should be returned at due time.”
Also, the Service Project Director of Rotary Club Falomo, Mr Ibrahim Sule, said, “The driving force behind the project is to empower the women so that they can have start-up funds for their businesses. We expect them to use the money wisely to the benefit of their families.”
