Traders, artisans, farmers receive N100m grant from Adelabu in Oyo

Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has supported traders, artisans and farmers across Oyo State with N100 million grant to boost their businesses.

Adelabu, a 2027 All Progressive Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State, said the empowerment was part of his ‘2025 Mega Empowerment and Economic Relief Programme Series’ to alleviate suffering of the masses across the state.

He said the empowerment became necessary as part of his efforts to give back to the society.

According to him, considering the current economic challenges across the nation, particularly the state, there is need for relief for traders, artisans and farmers in the state.

He said: “The empowerment is not about politics, I use it to thank God for his mercy on me, so, I’m giving back to the society.”

He urged residents of Oyo State and Nigeria at large to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu so that Tinubu can be re-elected again as Nigeria’s President.

“President Tinubu is God sent to Nigeria, he meant well for us, let us all support him and APC, though, things are somehow tough, but I can assure you that Nigerians will soon reap the gain of their pains,” he said.

Dignitaries at the event include former Deputy Governor of the state, Chief Moses Adeyemo, the Babaloja General of Oyo State, Alhaji Yekini Abass, APC Secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Olanite, and Prince Gbade Lana among others.

Also, in attendance are representative of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Oyo State chapter, members of Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF), among others.

Some of the beneficiaries commended the Minister for his gesture, saying the empowerment will go a long way in alleviating their sufferings.
