The Delta State Government has trained over 4,000 young female business owners from poor and vulnerable households across the 25 Local Government Areas within the space of six months

The trainees were empowered with cash grant to enhance their livelihoods in the state

The State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Community Services and Girl-Child Development, OrodeUduaghan disclosed to South-South Punch on Monday in Asaba, the state capital

Uduaghan said that the training, which took place across the 25 LGAs, was in partnership with Enterprise Development Center and MasterCard Foundation

He said the training was designed in a way that at the end of the day, 1,500 successful participants who scaled through EDC’s goal-plan-test were the ones the state government empowered with the sum of N150,000 each.

“Those who did not the EDC’s goal-plan-test received other business incentives like free website design.

“The beauty of that part of the project is that even after the grant scheme, the EDC still engages these entrepreneurs. So, they mentor them and each entrepreneur is paired with a mentor.

“They monitor their businesses and they help them with CAC registration and also engage them in exhibitions to showcase their products”

“Aside from the government’s grant, these female entrepreneurs were given other entrepreneurial incentives by EDC such as business mentorship and business registration.

“So, through EDC, these young female entrepreneurs had their products projected to the global markets by engaging them in a periodic exhibition.

The Commissioner said the platform was to commend the Oborevwori istration’s trailblazing achievement over the last two years, with unwavering commitment in advancing Delta in all fronts, particularly the vulnerable population.
